Kenema Government Secondary School Demands Recognition After WAEC Releases Withheld Result of Top St

The administration of Kenema Government Secondary School has called on the Ministry of Basic and Senior Secondary School Education (MBSSE) and the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) to officially recognize one of its students, Mohamed Unpha Koroma, as the best-performing candidate in the 2024/2025 West African Senior Secondary Certificate Examination (WASSCE).
Koroma reportedly obtained six As and three Bs in the examination. His results were initially withheld by WAEC over concerns regarding their authenticity but were later released following multiple reviews, confirming his performance.
Prior to the release of Koroma’s results, Roseline Mariam Jalloh of Modern Academy Senior School of Excellence was announced as the top-performing candidate in the 2025 WASSCE in Sierra Leone, with four A1s, three B2s, and two B3s, earning a 1.78 GPA. She was followed by Russell Afwa Jemis, who recorded a 1.89 GPA.
