Assin Central Anglican Basic 8 Students Seek Term 3 Exams Apor

The rate at which basic school learners are calling the Education-News Consult for end-of-term exam questions, or “apor,” is becoming increasingly alarming. A recent, worrying call from Basic 8 students at Assin Central Anglican Basic School highlights a serious issue that should concern the headmaster, teachers, and the Parent Association.

The consult receives between 5 and 10 calls a day from basic 7 and 8 learners in both public and private schools who are seriously seeking end-of-term exam questions. The number of WhatsApp chats received are countless for the same requests.

The Direct Request for Leaked Questions

During a phone conversation, three students from the school contacted Mr. Wisdom Hammond, the Lead Consultant at Education-News Consult. The students were eager to gain access to their end-of-term examination questions.

They specified their interest in the following subjects for the Basic 8 class:

Religious and Moral Education (RME)
Mathematics
Creative Arts and Design

Furthermore, the students confirmed they needed both Section A (objective) and Section B (written) questions.

An Attempt to Deceive and a Hostile Reaction

To deter the students from their intention to access “apor,” Mr. Hammond informed them he would report their request to the headmaster of the Anglican Basic School in Assin Fosu.

The students immediately panicked, insisting that the head teacher should not be called. They pleaded that neither the head teacher nor their other teachers should know about their actions. Their request clearly indicated they knew what they were doing was wrong and that the school authorities would take punitive action if their plan was revealed.

When Mr. Hammond persisted, attempting to counsel them and threatening to report them, the angered students resorted to insults filled with unprintable words.

Serious Implications for the Future

This desperate quest to cheat in a promotional examination is a sign that these students are not prepared to learn. It suggests they are not ready for the challenges of Basic 9 and are more likely to chase after leaked questions for the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) in 2026.

A Call to Action for Stakeholders

This incident is a wake-up call. Parents, teachers, and school authorities at Assin Central Anglican Basic have significant work to do. They must collaborate to instil examination discipline, the value of hard work, and the willingness for students to study and prepare adequately for their assessments.

The Education-News Consult is ready to provide the necessary assistance to the Headmaster, teachers, and PA executives of the school to identify these students for guidance and counselling. Concerned parties are encouraged to contact the consult for assistance in this regard.
