Two
more
teachers
have
been
arrested
in
Jachie
Pramso
in
the
Ashanti
Region,
over
alleged
examination
malpractice,
following
an
earlier
arrest
of
three
teachers
and
two
residents
in
Bekwai
for
similar
offences
on
the
first
day
of
the
Basic
Education
Certificate
Examination
(BECE).
In
an
interview
with
Channel
One
News,
the
Ashanti
Regional
Branch
Controller
of
the
West
African
Examinations
Council
(WAEC),
Divine
Walanyo
Agbonyo,
indicated
that
some
supervisors
accused
of
colluding
with
private
schools
to
aid
students
during
the
exams
have
been
replaced.
He
cautioned
teachers
and
parents
to
refrain
from
visiting
examination
centres
to
prevent
further
malpractices,
emphasising
that
severe
consequences
await
anyone
caught
cheating.
The
Branch
Controller
also
noted
that
some
teachers
and
residents
arrested
in
Bekwai
on
the
first
day
were
arraigned
on
Tuesday,
July
9,
2024.
“On
Monday
some
people
were
arrested
at
Bekwai.
On
Tuesday
we
arrested
some
teachers
too
at
Jachie
Pramso.
So
far
in
Kumasi,
these
are
the
ones
that
have
been
brought
to
my
notice.
Before
the
exam
started,
we
had
a
hint
that
some
supervisors
were
arranging
with
private
schools
to
take
money
so
they
could
assist
their
students.
We’ve
had
them
removed.”
“Bekwai,
three
teachers
were
arrested,
and
those
three
teachers
happened
to
be
from
a
private
school.
Two
guys,
they
were
town
folks
at
Jachie
Pramso,
two
teachers.
They
have
been
arrested
so
far.”
