The National Union of Ghana Students (NUGS) has announced plans to stage a demonstration against the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) over the withholding of 10,500 results from the 2024 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).
Despite the overall success of the exams, WAEC flagged several cases of malpractice, including photocopying answers, smuggling mobile phones, and collusion in exam halls. Investigations are ongoing.
However, NUGS has criticised WAEC’s handling of the matter, arguing that thousands of students have been unfairly affected by the cancellations and delays.
The protest is scheduled for Tuesday, February 25, starting at 9:00 am, with participants expected to gather at the Obra Spot at Kwame Nkrumah Circle, Accra.
In a statement, NUGS President Daniel Korley Botchway confirmed that the Greater Accra Regional Police Command had been notified.
“This demonstration is a protest against what we see as an injustice and an abuse of discretionary power by WAEC,” portions of the statement read.
NUGS has called on all affected students and stakeholders to join the protest in a united stand for justice.
