Despite wide report on some WASSCE exams papers leaking on social media which has lead to the rescheduling of those papers.
According to the Deputy Spokesperson of the Ministry, Yaw Opoku Mensah, the papers in question which has been reschedule was because an investigation need to be conducted to investigate portions of the question that stormed the media space and not necessarily it leaking.
Responding to a question by Francis Abban on if the rescheduling of the paper wasn’t as a result of leakage he said; If you say a paper leaked, what it means is we sat for the paper, then what you have in your hand compared to what the student sat to do is actually the case. We never saw the paper, nobody sat for the paper, no examination material was taken from the outfit of WAEC to be distributed to confirm that there was a leakage”.
So WAEC needed to put itself together, verify the claims on the grounds therefore what happened was to reschedule the paper and that was the most important thing.
He mentioned that WAEC needed to investigate previous papers that had been written but was associated with leakages on social media.
