WAEC Arrests Individuals Involved In Examination Malpractices In The WASSCE Exam
The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has communicated its worry considering the high number of malpractices seen in the ongoing West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).
This sub-regional examination scheme in Ghana has faced numerous anomalies, over the years including the smuggling of electronic machines into examination halls, paper leaks, and script impersonation, and many others
During a press briefing on the behavior of the 2023 WASSCE for school candidates, John K. Kapi, the head of public affairs for WAEC, disclosed that the people accountable for these malpractices have been arrested and will soon face legal proceedings.
“It is sad to note that some of the schools have devised grand schemes for cheating at their examination centres. Information reaching us indicates that some of the schools charge their candidates ranging between GH¢500 and GH¢1000 each to enable them to get assistance during the examination and this practice has given some of the students a certain sense of entitlement, and they want to be allowed their way.”

“Proprietors of some schools have shown open hostility towards our monitoring teams prompting us to call for support from the Ghana Police Service to ensure their safety. And some persons have been arrested for attempting to bribe our personnel to look the other way so that the cheating can go on.”
