WAEC cancels Government 1 and 2 papers

The West Africa Examinations Council (WAEC) has cancelled the Government Paper 1 and 2 of the on-going West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).

A statement copied to the Ghana News Agency on Monday said the papers would be re-administered on May 17.

The statement said a foreign material was found on some students during a routine inspection on April 22.

“In pursuance of its quest to inculcate moral uprightness in the youth, demonstrate its abhorrence for examination malpractice of any sort and safeguard the integrity of the on-going examination, the WAEC has cancelled the Government 1 and 2 papers”, the statement said.

The statement reminded heads of schools to make the necessary arrangements for the affected candidates to re-sit the papers.

    its so devastating to have re-sit for an examination which has already be written.its so hurting so much so that not all these candidates have b involved in such a gross malpractice, and so therefore i challenge the council and its members to see and participate in the essence of ensuring that, only those involved in such act are delt with severely so as to reduce such mounted pressure on some candidates innocent in such act for the success of those impending ones to accomplish as much as possible…

Waec if i write this government paper again,all of you in the waec who worked there, include you or the NDC president and their ministets God will also use the armed robbers punishment to punish and judge you these peoples and those who cancelled the government paper as what you have done to the government students.

    what waec has done is not the right way of punishing innocent students.They should rescined from what they have done to the innocent students
