WAEC is not positioned to assess students under the new curriculum - GNACOPS | 3News.com

The Ghana National Council of Private Schools (GNACOPS) has maintained that the West Africa Examination Council (WAEC) is not positioned to assess students under the new curriculum.

Yaw Adutwum, that Ghana’s education and WAEC assessment system are more of writing and passing exams and do not meet the modern trends of education.

According to the Council of Private Schools, there is no need to maintain WAEC as a sole mandatory examination body under the ministry of education for assessment and that it has outlived its usefulness as an examination body.

Over ten years down the line, exams malpractices and leakages have characterized the operations of WAEC which have marred the integrity of the assessment that it conducts” he stressed

He recalled that WAEC did a press conference and alluded to the fact that private schools are spearheading impersonation

Putting it in an omnibus that it is the private schools that are culprits is problematic.

The executive director questioned if WAEC has been able to establish that any of the people they arrested belong to any category of stakeholders in the private school sector whether a teacher, proprietor or a parent of a student in a private school.
