Kumasi, July 31, 2019 – Ghana's leading media outlets said: "WAEC retains the results of 48,855 candidates at the time of publication of WASSCE 2019". This litany is sung each year when the West African Examination Council (WAEC) publishes the results. For this writer, this means that WAEC is inefficient.
How long will it take WAEC to solve this problem? Do candidates use those who do the exams? Does WAEC not know that they are traumatizing those whose results are retained? How long would WAEC continue to hurt the candidates?
This writer has been involved in WAEC since 1963, when he pbaded the joint entrance exam and was admitted to Ghana's high school, Koforidua, his first choice. He was scheduled to pbad the African West African Ordinary Studies Certificate Examination in 1969, and the West African Advanced Certificate of Examination exam, in 1971, both applicants to the school. In 1972, he again pbaded the advanced level examination as a private candidate.
In 1976, he was supervisor during his national service days at Acherensua High School, in the Ahafo region. Again, he was a supervisor at C.A.C. High School, Akure State, Ondo, and Padopas Harmony Secondary School, Markordi, Benue State, both in Nigeria between 1977 and 1981. In 1981, he was a WAEC examiner and had written essays at the University of California. University of Nigeria, Nsuka WAEC Tagging Center, Nigeria. .
This writer felt it necessary to tell all this to show that he knew a little what he wrote. Candidates become very anxious when rumors about the publication of the results begin. It is therefore very unfair to aggravate them by retaining some of the results. This leads this author to wonder who should be responsible for fraud during exams. For this author, the answer is simple. WAEC is fully responsible. In the digital age, if WAEC has not been able to conduct a credible and problem – free review, it should be held responsible and not for the candidates.
WAEC! You torment my grandchildren. Publish their results – now! Now! Now!
