The West African Examination Council has released provisional results for the May 2010 Liberia Senior High School Certificate Examinations.
This year’s results show the worst performance of candidates over the last three years with none qualifying for the first two divisions so far.
The Head of National Office of WAEC told a news conference Monday the provisional results cover only seventeen thousand six hundred forty-four students.
Prof. Thomas Gaie said the results of the remaining four thousand three hundred eighty-five students are yet unavailable.
He attributes the unavailability to the failure of their respective schools to file the grades on time.
Prof. Gaie said of the total number of students whose results are available, only ten thousand nine hundred ninety-seven made a pass in division three.
According to Prof. Gaie, a total of six thousand six hundred forty seven candidates failed the examinations.
He however said the overall performance of the candidates may likely change as soon as grades from the delinquent schools are processed and consolidated results finalized.
Professor Gaie named some of the schools that failed to submit their results on time as Tubman High, BW Harris, Monrovia College, JJ Ross among others.
Meanwhile, WAEC says it is withholding the results of at least one hundred schools for their alleged involvement in examination malpractices.
