The Director-General of the Ghana Education Service Jacob Kor at a news conference indicated that this will among the numerous antidotes help in ending the increasing spate of examination leakages in the country.

The Ghana Education Service has warned that teachers who are found culpable in the recent leakage of examination questions and examination malpractices in the ongoing West African Senior Secondary Certificate Examination could be sacked.

He promised that the service will do all it can to end the seemingly annual menace but warned headteachers who may be neck-deep in the practice that they will not be spared if caught.

“Should there be any examination malpractice at a centre and it’s detected that head will lose his or her position. And that is not all, after losing your position; you will be put before the sanhedrin to answer.”

Three people including the Headmaster of Ascension Senior High School in the Ashanti region were arrested on April 8, 2016 in connection with the recent examination malpractices which have recently bedeviled the country.

The two others are a female Literature Teacher of the same school and a student. According to West African Examination Council (WAEC) officials, the trio attempted to sneak answers to candidates who were writing the Literature paper and were nabbed.

Three major papers of the WASSCE have leaked, but WAEC has served notice it will not cancel them.
