\u201cIf we are able to identify how they are able to cheat, we will be able to have a remedy for that,\u201d he remarked.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the acting Director General of the Ghana Education Services (GES), Jacob Kor, has hinted that the Service will strictly enforce the ban on the use of mobile phones by students in schools.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are also saying that the mobile phones should not be sent by students to school because it will distract their studies,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
