Information Minister, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah has insinuated that students who may miss the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) due to their health status may have the November/December (NOVDEC) exams as an option.
Speaking with Kwame Afrifa Mensah on the ‘Epa Hoa Daben’ show he said, “If you are sick but not bedridden, there are arrangements for you to write. It is not a new policy. But for those who are bedridden, it is obvious that they will be unable to write. However, there may be other options like NovDec.”
He added, “also, we have the clemency policy that uses the continuous assessment to grade such a person. So how the law works in any sickness case is what will be used now”.
The WASSCE kicked off yesterday with Project Work for Visual Arts students, while the theory papers will start from August 3, 2020, till September 5, 2020.
