General News of Thursday, 16 September 2021Source: kasapafmonline.comThe Minority in Parliament is pushing for a bi-partisan Committee of Inquiry to investigate the increasing spate of exam leakages in the West Africa Senior Secondary Certificate Examinations(WASSCE). This follows the West African Examination Council (WAEC) rescheduling the physics and business management papers that were set to be written on Wednesday, September 15, 2021, in the ongoing WASSCE amid fears of leaked examination questions. The Council noted that it detected evidence of possible exam leakage on social media and on “rogue” websites prior to today’s exams. “The cheating social media groups were in full swing prior to the conduct of the mathematics and the English language papers on 9th and 13th September,” the Head of Council’s Test Administration Division, George Ohene-Mantey, said at a press briefing. Mr. Ohene-Mantey said, “the Council’s monitoring revealed the circulation of numerous versions of questions, both printed and handwritten.”Two subjects found to have some questions circulating were elective mathematics and English language papers.
