Two Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) candidates were reportedly denied the chance to write their mathematics paper after being allegedly locked in a room by their headmaster over unpaid school fees.
The incident occurred on Monday, June 16, at Big Six International School, located at Meduma in the Ashanti Region.
The students, both girls, were scheduled to write the Mathematics paper at Simms High School at Fawoade, the designated exam centre for candidates in the Kwabre East Municipality.
According to reports, the headmaster allegedly issued a directive barring the students from participating in the exams unless their outstanding fees were settled.
