WAEC loses five million cedis to cancellation of examinations

The West Africa Examination Council (WAEC) says it costs the body about five million cedis when examinations are cancelled. 

The Very Reverend Sam Nii Nmai Ollenu, Head of the National Office, said the Council therefore does not benefit in any way from the cancellation of examinations and appealed to stakeholders to help stamp out malpractices.

Speaking in Accra, Rev.Ollenu explained that whenever examinations are cancelled, WAEC had to find additional resources to conduct fresh examinations by bringing together examiners and obtaining other logistics.

He said it is prudent for people to be worried when candidates cheat, adding that examination malpractices affect national development and lowers educational standards.
