WAEC SUED OVER PAPER LEAKAGE

WAEC SUED OVER PAPER LEAKAGE


Story by Michael Kenetey

A Civil Society Organisation, Africa Education Watch, has sued the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) over the publication of a list of contact details of examiners for the 2020 WASSCE on social media. 
The organisation, in a suit filed at the Accra High Court yesterday argued that the conduct of WAEC can compromise the just ended 2020 WASSCE results. 


In its statement of claim, the plaintiff argued that although WAEC has apologized and assured the public that what was leaked was not the final markers list, an SMS making the rounds suggests that the names on the leaked document have been invited to attend a coordination and conference marking of the 2020 WASSCE scripts.







 This, according to Africa Education Watch, is an indictment on WAEC and raises credibility and integrity issues about the marking standards of the 2020 WASSCE. 



The group is therefore praying the court to among other things order WAEC to halt meeting the listed examiners meant to mark and grade the results of all WAEC examinations until new appointments are made to exclude every name on the leaked documents making rounds on social media.


 It also wants the court to restrain WAEC, their agents and assigns from purporting to act in any manner that contravenes the laid down rules, regulations and general principles regarding the conduct of external examinations in Ghana.
