The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) says it has followed a number of issues emerging from the conduct of the Ghana-only examination, which is currently ongoing.
It said that it has received reports of violations of the rules and regulations governing the ongoing examination in the areas of impersonation, smuggling of mobile phones into examination halls by candidates, restriction of access to school compounds for monitoring purposes and syndicate cheating in schools.
WAEC in a statement dated September 2, 2022, signed and issued by the Head of Public Affairs, Mrs Agnes Teye-Cudjoe said it was “working closely with the Ghana Education Service, the National Intelligence Bureau and other security operatives to check infringements of the rules and regulations governing the ongoing examination.”
“Some hot spots have been identified and monitoring of these centres has been intensified,” it added.
It has therefore urged all stakeholders to collaborate with it to safeguard the integrity of the examination
