 Ondo Government Withholds WASSCE Results, Expels 17 Students Over Sign-Out Misconduct


The Ondo State Government has withheld the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) results and testimonials of some graduating secondary school students over alleged misconduct during their sign-out celebrations.


The disciplinary action, announced by the state Ministry of Education, followed the involvement of 17 final-year students in what authorities described as chaotic and unruly conduct after completing their final examinations.


According to the ministry, the affected students were seen in a viral video tearing their school uniforms, chanting unusual slogans and engaging in behaviour deemed inconsistent with acceptable standards of discipline.


The students were drawn from Oyemekun Grammar School, Aquinas Secondary School and CAC Grammar School, all located in Akure, the Ondo State capital.


The ministry said the sanctions, which include the withholding of examination results and testimonials as well as the expulsion of the affected students, were aimed at maintaining discipline in public secondary schools across the state.


It added that the government remains committed to promoting responsible conduct among students and discouraging acts of indiscipline within the education system.
