Six teachers nabbed for malpractice during WASSCE
Six teachers have been arrested in connection with examination malpractice in the ongoing West African Senior Secondary Examination (WASSCE).
The Head of Public Affairs at WAEC, John Kappi, said the teachers were arrested along with several students from both public and private schools across the country during the first week of the WASSCE.
“In terms of teachers, I can say so far, we have about six of them who have been picked up for various offenses. The candidates are a lot of them. It is not easy to give the number right now. We are still putting together the figures, and as and when we can compile the list, we will be able to put out the figure,” he told JoyNews.
The six arrested teachers were caught allegedly writing answers for candidates and committing other infractions.
Some of the infractions included carrying foreign materials into the examination hall.
