The Nkoranza District Director of Education, Mr. Kwabena Agyemang-Baduhas has urged candidates for the West African Senior Secondary Certificate Examination to avoid examination malpractices or would be fined ¢12 million.

Addressing students of Busunya and Yefri Senior Secondary Schools at separate meetings, the district director cautioned that any student who would flout the regulations of the examinations could also be imprisoned for 18 months.

He advised the students to be disciplined and to obey the instructions of the invigilators and supervisors during the examinations.

them to study hard and achieve an impressive record to uplift the image of the institution.
