Mrs Jayne Segum Abban the PRO of the GES at the Effi Kwesimintsim Municipal Assembly in a conversation with Skyy Power FM’s Claudia Annan provided further details about the release of the results.
Concerning the cancellation of some of the results, she said candidates are always sensitized before examinations on the dos and don’ts yet some of them end up being victims.
“We had candidates falling as victims concerning examination malpractices even though we sensitize them before the exams,” she added.
Mrs Segum Abban also advised parents and students to relax and access the results on the portal provided by WAEC or visit the head office if they face any challenges.
She said, “I will advise parents and students to relax and not panic when results are released, and they can visit our education office for assistance when there is a problem.”
