Arrest WASSCE Students Who Assault Officials During Exams – GNAT

The Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT) has urged authorities to arrest students who attack teachers and other officials facilitating the ongoing WASSCE in senior high schools across the country.

According to the President of the association, Philipa Larson, reports of violence from these students is worrying and must be dealt with accordingly.

This follows agitations by some students over what some describe as strict supervision and swindling by government.

However, the GNAT President, speaking on Joy News’ PM Express with Evans Mensah, described the rate of reports as unprecedented adding that “the fact that government has provided you with past questions doesn’t mean they will come and answer the questions for you.”

On the threats of attacks, Philipa Larson said it was criminal and called on the Ghana Education Service the police to arrest perpetrators.

“I would want the GES and other security agencies will have to come in and arrest people they have to arrest because threat is also criminal. We will not sit down for our member to be threatened,” she said.

Meanwhile, the Ghana Education Service (GES) has directed school authorities to deboardenise any student found to have been involved in any of the attacks and acts of voilence during the period.
