Education Ministry says it will ensure this year’s Basic Education
Certificate Examination (BECE) will be without any malpractices by
pupils, invigilators or supervisors.
Over 438 thousand pupils across Ghana are expected to write the week-long exam.
In previous years there have been malpractices associated with BECE
but the ministry says security has been tightened against any breach
of exam regulations.
Public Relation Officer at the ministry Francis Gbadago says
examination materials have been delivered to all the centers by the
West African Examination Council (WAEC).
He urged candidates, supervisors and invigilators to adhere strictly
to the rules and regulations governing the examinations.
Meanwhile, WAEC says it is dissatisfied that a year after an officer
and two others were caughtleaking examination papers to students at
Asiwa in Ashanti regionthe culprits are yet to be prosecuted.
Lance Corporal Prince Opoku, Kingsley Isaac Aidoo, a supervisor and
Obed Opoku, a driver were paid Ȼ4,000 to help students cheatin the
exams.
Head of WAEC, Rev. Samuel Ollennu says it has been a year and the
police are yet to take action.
