The Minority in parliament has complained of the worrying delay by the government in paying the West African Examination Council (WAEC) for the 2021 BECE and WASSCE.
According to Hon. Peter Nortsu Kotoe, Member of Parliament for Akatsi North, the delay in paying a total of (GH₵ 15,790,072.00) has made it difficult for WAEC to meet its obligations towards invigilators, supervisors, and script checkers for the 2021 BECE.
“Mr. Speaker, it is disheartening to know that persons who supervised and invigilated the BECE for school candidates, as well as script checkers for 2021, are yet to be paid the allowances due them.
The 2022 WASSCE and BECE are scheduled for August and October 2022. The MP called on the Finance Minister to treat the situation as an urgent one to ensure the WAEC is paid the outstanding balance of (GH₵ 15,790,072.00) before the examinations start this year.
“Mr Speaker, I want to use this opportunity to appeal to the Minister of Finance to as a matter of urgency release money to the West African Examination Council for a smooth conduct of this year’s examination.” He said while addressing parliament on the issue.
WAEC is expected to administer the WASSCE for school candidates as well as the BECE for private and school candidates, which are transition examinations for those who want to further their education at the tertiary and secondary school levels respectively.
