The association which expressed discontent over the low pass rate in the just-ended WASSCE, admonished teachers to be “diligent in the discharge of their duties to assist in reversing the trend of student failure”. Additionally, only 48.48 per cent of students secured passes in Integrated Science. They entreated banks to waive all forms of charges on Capitation Grants and consider it as part of their Corporate Social Responsibility. The association said it would be glad if stakeholders resolved inconsistencies in the structure and syllabi of colleges of education to ensure uniformity.
