WAEC Must Go! GNACOPS spits fire over exam malpractice blamed on Private SHSs
The Private Schools Council (GNACOPS) has called for reforms in the conduct of examinations in Ghana and to help break the monopoly of WAEC with the conduct of the international and national examinations in the country.
The call by the GNACOPS came after WAEC revealed in its second update on the ongoing WASSCE for school candidates that private schools were to be blamed for most of the examination malpractices in the ongoing WASSCE 2022.
WAEC Must Go! GNACOPS spits fire
The Private Schools Association’s WAEC Must Go calls have reached their crescendo, forcing WAEC to call for dialogue with GNACOPS over exam malpractice concerns.
To ensure the monopoly of WAEC is broken, the private schools are calling on stakeholders to help abolish WAEC as an examining body. They have argued that WAEC as an examining body has failed to contribute positively to educational development in the country.
In an interview with Citi News monitored by Ghana Education News, WAECs’ Head of Legal Affairs, Victor Brew, the Council would engage GNACOPS in a progressive mood to resolve the issues at stake.
“Mr. Gyetuah [the National Executive Director for GNACOPS] will help us when he submits inputs regarding how to better the assessment regime of this country.”
“There are plans to engage Mr. Gyetuah’s outfit for us to discuss and find common ground regarding the way forward,” Rev. Brew said.
GNACOPS has criticized WAEC and urged the government to establish other examination bodies in order to break WAEC’s monopoly.
The council believes that such a move will help in properly assessing candidates who take external examinations.

This is in response to GNACOPS’s demand that WAEC be phased out because it has outlived its usefulness.
GNACOPS also believes that the inclusion of other examination bodies could aid in the resolution of the issue of examination malpractice.
