Private candidates writing the West Africa Senior Secondary School Certificate Examinations (WASSSCE) in the Tema Municipality have condemned the bad sound quality of the public address systems used for the English Language Three (Orals) Paper. A number of the candidates in an interview in Tema on Tuesday said that due to the bad sound quality, they did not get the sentences being read out to them. The candidates with disappointment written all over their faces, complained bitterly as they came out from their various centres. Mr Edem Anku, a candidate who could not hide his displeasure said that "the sound was so bad that, I could not follow what was being read, so I just shaded the answer sheet and came out". Mr Paul Dzineku, a Supervisor at the Centre 'A' of the WAEC Hall, responding to the candidates' complaints, said the supervisors were unable to correct the sound quality since they had no knowledge of its cause. He said about 75 percent of the sound was audible as questions one to 10 were very clear. Other supervisors however suggested that in coming years, candidates should be in smaller groups during the writing of the oral paper to ensure its effectiveness. About 700 candidates wrote the examinations at the Tema Secondary School Centre, while 1,699 and 900 others wrote at WAEC centre 'A' and 'B' respectively. Source: GNA
