The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has closed the Adventist Day Senior High School examination center in Kumasi and relocated its candidates to the WAEC regional office following widespread malpractice during the ongoing West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).
According to a report by asaaseradio.com, the decision was announced on Thursday, September 4, 2025, during a monitoring tour of examination centers in the Kumasi metropolis by Kumasi Mayor, Richard Ofori Agyemang Boadi, aimed at ensuring the integrity of the exams.
The Kumasi Metropolitan Director of Education, David Oppong confirmed that all 936 candidates from the school have been reassigned to write their English Language paper under strict supervision at the WAEC office. "This has come to the attention of the Regional Director, and we are yet to conduct our investigation.
For now, the students have been bused to the WAEC center to take the examination and it is very unfortunate," he said.
