Three teachers in Bekwai and two invigilators in the Bono Region have been arrested for attempting to assist students in answering questions during the BECE.
According to an academic expert, Dr. Peter Anti-Partey, teachers have been instructed to abstain from instructing students within the examination premises.
This arrest is a component of the strategies implemented by WAEC to deter all manifestations of examination misconduct.
“Teachers are supposed to prepare students for the exam and that is where it ends. You are not supposed to get into the examination centre and engage in examination malpractice no matter how critical the situation is.”
He stated that additional information will be disseminated to the public.
“As we speak, we have also picked up two teachers from a centre in the Bono Region. They are teachers of some basic schools in the area who also had a link person who was taking some pictures from the examination hall and sending it to them to solve for the children. So they also have been handed to the police.”
