GES exams coordinator calls for stakeholder support to curb malpractice in Ahafo Region
Frank Otchere, the Ghana Education Service (GES) Examination Coordinator for Asutifi North District in the Ahafo Region, called on stakeholders to intensify efforts to address the rising cases of examination malpractice in the area at Kenyasi during an event. Mr. Otchere expressed concern "that examination malpractice in the region has reached alarming levels," adding "that Ahafo and Bono Regions are currently among the areas leading in such practices nationwide."
Mr. Otchere warned that the trend poses serious consequences for students, schools, and the overall credibility of the education system, stressing the need for urgent collective action to reverse the situation. He stated that the Education Directorate has put in place measures to combat the problem, but broader stakeholder involvement is required. The engagement programme also served as a sensitisation platform to educate candidates on the dos and don'ts of examination conduct ahead of their upcoming exams.
Francis Nsiah, the Founder of Elevation Youth Fellowship, said the conference, themed "The Youth, Partners for Development: Restoring Moral Values," was aimed at shaping responsible behaviour among BECE and WASSCE candidates. Mr. Nsiah expressed concern over increasing drug use and other social vices among young people, warning that such behaviours threaten national development and require sustained sensitisation to address.
