The Ghana Education Service has dismissed 14 students caught in recent examination scandals and has barred them from continuing ongoing West Africa Senior Secondary Certificate Examination (WASSCE).
In a press release sighted by African Post Online and signed by the Director General of the Ghana Education Service, Prof. Kwasi Opoku Amankwah, it was explained that the decision was aimed at serving a “deterrence and to ensure that life and property are protected in the schools”.
The list contained three students from Sekondi College, three from Tweneboah Koduah Senior High School including their Senior Prefect, five from Baffor Senior High School, and three from Juaben Senior High School.
It added that “all students who are in schools where destruction of school property occurred are to be surcharged for the full cost of the damage”.
It further interdicted three teachers and barred them from invigilation whiles “investigations into their roles in some of the reported cases” are ongoing.
Some students after writing their examinations on Monday protested that the questions were too difficult and invigilation was “strict”.
Students in their protest destroy school property, attack invigilators and threaten to boycott the rest of their papers.
