WAEC official website goes offline ahead of 2022 WASSCE
The official website (https://waecgh.org) of the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) responsible for the conduct of the international and national examinations in the country is currently down due to the expiry of the domain name.
Speaking to AcademicWeek on Friday, a staff of the Council said the management of his outfit is working tirelessly to ensure the website is back online. He indicated the downtime is not a result of an attack on the site’s server or a hack.
“The management of the West African Examinations Council is aware of the downtime and we are working to resolve it as soon as possible. A notice on the website says the domain name expired on 2022-06-21 at 08:32:09” the official said.
Despite the offline status of the non-profit-making organization (WAEC) official website, other subdomains on the Waecgh.org including the BECE Private registration portal and WASSCE Private registration portal are online and active.

But, a staff of the Health Ministry has said the 2022/2023 nursing admission online website is currently online and responds to the process thus students can visit (healthtraining.gov.gh) to complete the application process.
Asked if there would be an extension of the deadline for interested applicants to submit the 2022/2023 academic year application, the official of the Ministry said no such decision has been taken by the management of his outfit.
The Health Ministry in a statement said the 2022 online admission portal to receive applications from qualified candidates into public health training institutions will be opened from Monday, May 16, to Friday, July 29, 2022.
