The paper is just starting at the Centres”.

EduWATCH further noted it has activated its monitoring systems to check the activities of WAEC during the 2021 WASSCE for school candidates with the help of OXFAM. It said the exercise is aimed at ensuring there is improve accountability in the Education Assessment Sector.

However, reacting to the report, The Head of National Office, WAEC, Wendy E. Addy-Lamptey  said the report by the Eduwatch is untrue and misleading.

“Ladies and gentlemen we wish to put out that the information put out by EduWATCH about the alleged leakage of the food and nutrition paper on Friday is untrue. It is misleading and it’s creating anxiety among the candidates and among our public,” she told a news conference Monday.

WAEC has disclosed over 446,000 students from various Senior High schools (SHSs) across the country registered to sit for this year’s West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).
