Salifu Ibrahim said: “We marked what the students wrote and based on WAEC marking scheme; students mostly write chaff and come out to say they answered the questions very well: you will even try to consider a student but to no avail.”
This submission attracted a lot of counter comments however, it is important that schools and teachers begin to make the answering of questions part of the lessons they teach. Students know their stuff but when it comes to understanding the questions and providing the relevant answers they fail to impress.

Salifu Ibrahim reacted to the message left by the examiner said…”You are not telling the truth. You only mark according to what is on the marking scheme. Not necessarily should every answer be from the marking scheme. Some of the teachers may not have any idea about the subject by marking what they want.”
Esi Afful added that “Ok let’s say the question asks you to write down 1 reason for the coming of the Europeans in Ghana
Let’s say the marking scheme suggests discoveries, for exploitation. And u the student writes anything other than these they will surely mark u down.
Ghanaeducation.org has continued to stress how the importance of students mastering how to answer questions months before the examination.
