The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has confiscated a mobile phone belonging to an invigilator, Bright Amoah, at the Armed Forces Senior High Technical School in Accra.
The incident occurred on Monday, August 25, during a monitoring exercise at the Burma Camp examination centre, while candidates were writing their first major paper, Social Studies.
According to WAEC, the seized phone contained already-solved questions from the ongoing WASSCE, including material from the Oral English and Picture Making papers. Although these subjects had already been written, the Council suspects possible foul play and has launched investigations into the matter.
The Examination Centre Supervisor has been directed to submit a detailed report explaining why the invigilator had a phone in the exam hall, which constitutes a breach of WAEC’s strict regulations. The Council has reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring credibility in the conduct of the ongoing WASSCE.
