General News of Saturday, 8 August 2020Source: Starr FM2020 WASSCE: Providing students PASCO caused high expectation - Addae-MensahFormer Vice-Chancellor of the University of Ghana, Prof Ivan Addae-MensahA former Vice-Chancellor of the University of Ghana, Professor Ivan Addae-Mensah has blamed the disappointment being expressed by final year SHS students after their WASSCE paper on the provision of past questions by the education ministry to students. According to him, Senior High Schools over the years have prepared their students using past questions but the education ministry going the extra mile to provide the past questions to all students across the nation heightened expectations among the students. His comments come after a reporter with the Daily Graphic in Koforidua, Damalie Emmanuel Pacome, was attacked by students of Bright Senior High School in Akyem Kukurantumi. Several students in other schools have also attacked the president for providing them with questions which did not appear in their final exams. Meanwhile, the West Africa Examination Council (WAEC) has relocated its examination centre from the premises of Bright Senior High School to the Ofori Panin Senior High School following the student riot that occurred at the centre on Thursday.
