Teachers Call For Resignation Of WAEC Boss, Dissolution Of Board

The Ghana National Association of Graduate Teachers, on Thursday,
called on the Head of the West African Examination Council in Ghana
to resign to allow authority to investigate without interference.The
NAGRAT is also calling for the dissolution of the Board of Directors for
WAEC.

Addressing a press conference in Accra, the National Vice President of

the Association, Mr. Angel Kabonu, explained that it was imperative

that Rev. Samuel Ollenu steps aside to ensure that investigations were

done independently.

“The results our students churn out is a reflection of our competence

or otherwise,” he said, emphasising on the fact that teachers put in

their best to prepare students for exams, therefore excellent

performance should not be misconstrued to be with assistance of

leaked papers.

Mr. Kabonu said, “when papers leak and the questions are on the

internet, whatsApp and pupils could email them, then we will have to

ask ourselves the question, ‘where is it coming from?’, definitely it is

coming from WAEC.”

He then argued that students should not suffer for the errors and

incompetence of the examination body, calling for the establishment of

an alternative body to bring about competition to make WAEC sit up.
