‘He wants us to score F9’ – Tweneboa Kodua SHS students protest against “strict” headmaster
Aug 4, 2020
Investigations have started after WASSCE candidates of the Tweneboa Kodua Senior High School at Sekyere Kumawu in the Ashanti Region went on a demonstration Monday.
The over 1,200 students are demanding the removal of the headmaster of the school, Mr. John Asante, who has been accused of being strict on them during the sitting of the Integrated Science paper.
“They want us to get F9, unacceptable”, a student is heard on a video widely shared online while others scattered tables and chairs at the school’s dining hall.
Police were later called in to restore calm as the protest nearly halted the Paper 2 of the Integrated Science exam.
District Chief Executive of Sekyere Kumawu, Mr. Samuel Addai Agyekum, told Dailymailgh.com that steps would be taken to resolve the matter.
“We were monitoring the exams and we had to go to Tweneboa Kodua so on my way there I saw the students chanting [and] demanding the removal of the headmaster. They were accusing the headmaster of being autocratic and so I have directed the CID to investigate and report same to me”, the DCE said.
More than 300,000 students are sitting for the exam in Ghana supervised by the West African Examination Council (WAEC).
Already, some unscrupulous persons have been sharing question papers online in an attempt to defraud unsuspecting candidates.
