Background: students riote

Following their first paper ( Integrated Science) in this year’s WASSCE, videos surfaced on social media where students were seen agitating over claims they were not allowed to cheat and that they could not answer the questions that were set.

Students were also seen vandalizing school property and some using unprintable words on high level public figures including the president of the republic.

These actions by the students have been condemned by the public with calls for the students involved to be sanctioned appropriately.
