Correspondence from Eastern Region The integrity of the ongoing WASSCE at WBM Zion Senior High School in the Eastern Region has come under scrutiny following disturbing allegations from within the school.

According to a whistleblower, authorities are allegedly preventing some final-year students from writing their West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) practicals - and are instead asking second-year students to sit in their place.

The informant described the situation as "academic fraud," alleging that Form Three students were deliberately barred from participating in their scheduled practical exams despite paying various fees to the school. "This is not only illegal but immoral," the source said. "How can a headmistress collect money from final-year students and then deny them access to their own exams, only to replace them with juniors?" The decision has left the affected students devastated, with their academic progression now hanging in the balance.

Students from the Visual Arts Department - offering subjects such as General Knowledge in Art, Sculpture, Picture Making, and Graphic Design - were reportedly asked to pay between GH¢750 and GH¢900 to cover registration and practical costs.
