The West African Examinations Council has launched an online verification system that allows all candidates to check whether their names are linked to any examination malpractice cases. This move marks a new era of transparency and accountability in the WASSCE process.

In this post, we’ll explore how the system works, why it matters, and what students should do next.

WAEC Ghana officially introduced a digital malpractice verification system accessible through https://irreg.waecgh.org/candidate/login. The platform lets students verify their exam records using the same details they registered with during WASSCE.

Once a candidate logs in and clicks “Submit,” the system displays their status either “No Malpractice” or “Recorded for Malpractice.”

This initiative follows repeated concerns about students being blacklisted without their knowledge or struggling to verify their integrity when applying for universities, scholarships, or jobs.

According to WAEC officials, the portal’s goal is to ensure “openness and trust” in examination management. It also helps candidates correct errors early if their names appear mistakenly linked to malpractice cases.

This is also a major step toward digital record-keeping across West African countries, aligning with broader education modernization goals.

For students, this is more than just a convenience it’s peace of mind. With a few clicks, they can now confirm their credibility and protect their academic reputation.

For schools, this system simplifies the process of identifying students with pending issues before final submissions or certificate processing. It also ensures that schools can maintain accurate internal records and resolve disputes with WAEC more easily.

In the long term, this move could help curb malpractice itself, as students become more aware of how permanent such records can be.
