Government debt owed to WAEC has put 2023 WASSCE and BECE at risk – Minority

July 27, 2023

The Minority in Parliament claims that the smooth conduct of the 2023 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) and the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) is jeopardised due to unpaid obligations owed to the West African Examinations Council (WAEC).

According to the Minority, unless the government immediately clears all outstanding debts, the two final-year examinations would face major hurdles.

Speaking to the media in Parliament, the Minority Spokesperson on Education, Peter Nortsu-Kotoe, alleged that WAEC urgently needs more than GH 50 million to meet its financial obligations.

He said without the money, WAEC would not be able to organise the examination as required.

He told journalists that has failed to release funds to WAEC for compensating individuals who provided their services during the 2022 WASSCE.

He said allowances owed to supervisors, invigilators, examiners, and other personnel involved in the examination process have not been paid.

“The challenge for WAEC now is the government’s inability to release funds to them to perform their functions. Those who worked for WAEC last year, 2022, in the conduct of the WASSCE have not been paid the allowances due to the supervisors, the invigilators, the examiners, and all other persons. So, WAEC is unable to raise funds to meet its obligations,” he said.

“Now the examinations are about to start again or they have even started with the orals and practicals and the WAEC is not having money to pay for last year’s services. So we don’t know what the government is doing and if care is not taken, the persons or the teachers who gave us the service may not be ready to provide services again as supervisors and invigilators.”

“I know of a country, a member country, that by the end of the first quarter, all the budget of WAEC is released to them for national and international examinations. Why can’t we do the same in Ghana?”

“This is the challenge WAEC is facing and if we don’t help them to get what is due them, I don’t know how the exams for this year will be conducted. For now, they need about GH₵‎50 million to clear the previous year’s arrears. Those who print their scripts for them, those who print booklets, they owe all of them. So if you don’t pay, how will they provide those materials for you?”
