Key takeaways
- GES, the MoE, and WAEC have not officially announced the release date of the 2024 BECE.
- Typically, the examination results are released about 90 days after the exam.
- However, first-year SHS and technical school students will report on 27th September 2024.
Feeling anxious and excited as you await your Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) results is natural. Unfortunately, there is no official announcement yet. But here’s everything we know so far and how to stay updated.
Update
SHS/SHTS 1 students for the 2023/2024 academic year are now set to return to school on September 27, 2024, due to the delay in BECE results. The results are expected in October, and students will likely start school in November.
What is the 2024 BECE results release date?
The Ghana Education Service (GES), the Ministry of Education, and the West African Examination Council (WAEC) have not officially announced the release date. Typically, results are released roughly 90 days after the examination, as evidenced in the 2022 and 2023 examinations.
However, the GES has informed all heads of Senior High Schools (SHS) and technical schools that first-year students will report to school on 27th September 2024 to begin the 2024/2025 academic calendar.
Based on this directive, we can expect the results by late August or early September 2024 if there are no delays.
How to stay updated on the BECE results release?
Here’s how you can keep up with all updates on your results:
- Regularly visit the official websites of WAEC, Ministry of Education, and GES for announcements. You can also follow their social media pages.
- Look out for updates on the social media channels of trusted news outlets. Additionally, you can regularly read through newspapers or watch the news for verified information.
- You can also check for the 2024 BECE release date by dialling *790*024# and selecting option 4.
Where to buy a BECE results checker?
You’ll need a results checker to check your BECE results on the WAEC website. Fortunately, purchasing one is convenient and relatively affordable.
A BECE results checker costs GH₵ 14.00, and you can buy one on the WAEC website using any network’s mobile money. Each voucher has a serial number and a 12-digit PIN that you’ll need to access your results online.
Note: Although other vendors sell result checkers, we advise buying directly from WAEC’s website or official posts to ensure it is legitimate and avoid any issues.
FAQs
What can I do if I feel my results were unfairly graded?
If you believe your BECE results are incorrect, you can request a review of your scripts by WAEC at a cost. If you wrote the exams as a school candidate, only the head of your school or an authorised representative could request the review on your behalf. However, you can appeal the review directly if you took the exam as a private candidate. You must do this within 60 days of the release of the results.
Can I rewrite the BECE?
Yes, you can register to rewrite the BECE as a private candidate. You must provide your previously used index number and the year you wrote the BECE. Online registration opens from October to November, and the exam is usually conducted in the following year. Visit the WAEC private exam portal for information.
Conclusion
While waiting for your results can be exciting or even scary as you prepare for the next step in your education. Stay updated through verified sources and engage in productive activities to make the wait easier.

You cannot buy a new result if your BECE results are not good—you may have to resit the exams.

Is it good to attend an all boys secondary school?
None of them are bad, whether it’s a mixed school, a boys’ school, or a girls’ school. What matters is the school’s performance in WASSCE and its category.
Thanks for ur answers
Please if I want to do medicine, can I attend stem school
STEM schools have a different curriculum to STEM-related or traditional SHS. Most STEM schools only offer Biomedicals, Engineering, Robotics, Aviation, and Aerospace. As a result, the pathway to studying medicine in the university is not straightforward.
Pls how do we buy the card , which is used for checking BECE result
You can buy one on the WAEC website or dial *790*024#. But do not buy your results checker until the results are out.
If results are to be released in 90 days from the time of completion of the exam, how will it be possible for the same students to resume 1st year on 27th September. This doesn’t add up.
Results are released roughly 90 days after the examination. This is the pattern we’ve observed. However, GES has informed SHS heads the first-year students will resume on 27th September, 2024. So we can expect the results earlier this year.
Please which month will the 2024 BECE results is coming
We are expecting it no later than early next month.
Please this current students in SHS 1 will they go to SHS 2 when re open on 27 or they will do one more semester

Please can the results be released in this month
It’s likely the results would be released late this month or early next month.
thank you so much ma
When will the SHS 1 go back to school,[the double track rather] not the first year’s.
Students currently in SHS 1 are expected to go back to school in November.
Hi ma please between senior high school and technical school which is the highest one
Neither option is better than the other.
Senior High Schools teach you general knowledge, like math, science, and languages. This helps you prepare for more education in the future, like university.
Vocational and technical schools focus on hands-on skills. You learn how to do specific jobs, like being an electrician, fashion designer, or chef, so you can start working in those fields.
What you choose should align with what you want to do and who you want to be in the future.

This is not true, as GES has stated that SHS 1 students are to report to school on September 27.

Tanz 4 d information

Yes. But we’re also growing skeptical as it looks like students would not be able to go school on 27th as GES said due to these delays.
Please are the results out
The results are not out yet.
So please due to delay we are not about to report in school at this month? And what causes the delay.
It’s likely. But we’re waiting on GES for further directives. The delay was due to financial reasons and personnel shortages.

I just dialed the short code for bece checking and selected option 4 but they said bece would be released in October 22 2024. So how then did they say our kids would be going to school in September.
We are just as confused, Vicky. Even more so that the GES isn’t clarifying their position on this.
