Teachers and Junior High School students mostly from schools in the Manya Krobo District are complaining bitterly about the ongoing Basic Education Certificate Examinations (BECE).
Students who called into the studious of Joy FM complained of being made to write papers not taught in their syllabi.
They were made to write pre-technical skills although they offered home economics.
The students are calling for the cancellation of the paper because they were not sure they would make any good grades in them.
“We were able to answer some. Those that we could not handle, we left them unanswered,” one pupil told Joy News.
According to them although they complained to invigilator, they were asked to proceed as there was no other alternative.
Several hundreds of thousands of students are sitting this year’s BECE and these complaints coming up are perhaps just a fraction of the serious challenges the examination is faced with.
Meanwhile some teachers from schools in the district are calling on the Ghana Education Service to probe the irregularities in the exams and help rectify the anomaly.
According to them, the students will suffer if government fails to rectify the problem.
