The
Ghana
National
Association
of
Teachers
(GNAT)
has
called
for
investigations
into
an
alleged
incident
in
the
North
Tongu
District
where
candidates
sitting
the
Basic
Education
Certificate
Examination
(BECE)
were
prohibited
from
wearing
belts
and
shoes
into
the
examination
hall.
General
Secretary
of
GNAT,
Thomas
Yanko
Musah
said,
such
incidents
could
affect
the
candidates
adversely
if
the
GES
does
not
act
promptly.
“When
we
hear
things
like
this
don’t
let
us
jump
into
conclusion,
it
is
like
a
security
man
meets
you,
I
don’t
think
the
security
man
will
ask
everyone
to
remove
his
or
her
dress.”
“So,
if
out
of
the
thirty,
one
person
is
asked
to
remove
his
shoes
or
belt,
then
there
could
be
some
kind
of
justification
for
the
security
man
asking
that,”
he
said.
He
also
cautioned
teachers
and
students
against
examination
malpractices.
“We
want
to
tell
them
that
they
should
be
careful
with
examination
and
all
that,
because
they
always
write
in
their
own
schools,
they
don’t
copy
why
should
you
be
anxious?
So,
we
are
telling
them
that
they
should
relax,
and
they
will
come
out
successfully,”
he
advised.
“Those
invigilating
too,
you
know
your
job,
stay
within
the
rules
and
get
the
children
to
get
it
done,”
Mr
Musah
urged.
