-MOE Warns School Administrators

 The Ministry of Education said it has received reports that some schools are withholding the numbers and other related information of candidates because of unpaid tuition or other school-related fees.

MOE in a brief, but stern statement said such alleged act or practice is in violation of the Ministry’s policy.

According to the statement, no school is permitted to deny, delay, withhold, or obstruct a student’s participation in any WAEC-administered examination because of unpaid tuition, arrears, graduation fees, registration fees, or any other financial obligation.

With the WASSCE examination scheduled to begin today Monday, June 1, and the closing of schools ahead of the examination period, the statement unequivocally said, all schools currently withholding candidate numbers or examination information are directed to immediately release such information to eligible students.
