Some 14 students in some Senior High Schools (SHS) in the country have been dismissed following recent acts of indiscipline and vandalism recorded during the conduct of the 2020 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).
These students have also been barred from writing their remaining papers in the ongoing examination organised by the West Africa Examination Council.
Management of the Ghana Education Service (GES) in a statement said these sanctions have been taken to “serve as a deterrent and to ensure that life and property are protected in schools.”
