- WAEC Warns 2024 WASSCE Candidates Against Bribing Invigilators to ensure incident free exam.
- WAED has put in place tough measures to prevent examination malpractices and leakeges.
Following the start of the 2024 WASSCE for Ghana only, the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has issued a Stern Warning to 2024 WASSCE Candidates Against Bribing Invigilators and Examiners.
The Head of Public Relations at WAEC, John Kapi, called on students writing the 2024 WASSCE to refrain from inducing invigilators and examiners to aid them.
He admonished all candidates to focus on their preparation and do independent work in the examination so that they can pass the exam without engaging in any act of cheating.
“Go out there and put in your best; we don’t want to see those messages they leave in the answer booklet. We don’t want to see any of those monies they put in those books or phone numbers asking examiners to call and negotiate with them,” he stated.
He also cautioned the students and other stakeholders, such as schools, teachers, and invigilators, to do their work well and ensure that students are not encouraged to enter exam halls with unapproved materials and conduct themselves in the exam centres.
“We should not be people through whom the young ones are going to terminate their education. If we help them, we are simply telling them that it is possible to cheat your way through life,” he said.

The examination, which commenced on August 5, will end on September 20, 2024.
The exam, which started on Wednesday, has seen no reports of misconduct so far, a situation the exam body attributes partly to the stringent measures it put in place after some invigilators and parents were found culpable of marring the conduct of the process during last month’s Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE).
Mr. Kapi says the Council is hopeful the smooth process will continue until the last paper on September 20.
“For now, we have not recorded any incident; it is exciting, but then it is our prayer that it goes on this way until we get to the end,” he said.
