“Under the current regime, they are not dismissed. The Code of Conduct for Teachers categorizes it as an offence, but it is not an outright dismissal. The GES must elevate their sanctions in the Code of Conduct for teachers who collude or participate in the examination fraud.”
“Then it becomes a very, very high-risk business. Until then, the problem we have on our hands will remain until we change the system that WAEC deploys,” he added.
Background
Last week, the Education Minister, Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum, announced that this year’s results is the best since 2015.
However, the flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Mahama, challenged the authenticity of the recent results.
According to him, some invigilators relax on the job as teachers are found aiding students in answering questions.
“In many places, they let the children cheat. You go to places, and the teachers are conniving with the students to cheat. The effect will be seen later,” Mr. Mahama said.
The former president, who is on the “Building Ghana Tour,” believes the development will have dire consequences for the country’s educational system in the future.
“You certify these children, saying they are of this standard, either the BECE or SSCE, and that child will use that certificate, go abroad to a school, and they will find out that your qualification is not up to the standard you say it is.”.
