The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has released the timetable for the re-sit of the five cancelled papers for the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE).
Candidates will retake the five papers on June 29 and 30.
[contextly_sidebar id=”Cq8qzj64CBCMhWw2qOdnNPfbft2TjK8p”]On Monday June 29, 2015 the students will write English Language 2, Integrated Science 2 and Religious & Moral Education 2 and on Tuesday June 30, 2015, the Social Studies 1&2 and Mathematics 2 papers will be written.
Midway through the writing of the BECE, WAEC announced that it had canceled some papers upon detection that the questions had leaked and gone viral on social media.
The examination body was widely criticized for the leakage and for putting undue pressure of the students writing the examination.
A parent also threatened to sue WAEC for psychologically traumatizing his son.
In response, WAEC maintained that the papers had to be cancelled to protect the integrity of the exams.
Although the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI) is investigating the matter, the National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT) is demanding that the governing board of WAEC be dissolved and the WAEC boss sacked.
So far, some four teachers in the Ashanti Region have been arrested after they were caught printing BECE questions and solving them for some students who had paid for their services.
The Ashanti Regional Police has said that it is investigating the matter and the teachers will soon be processed for court.
