The West African Examination Council (WAEC) says it is disturbed about the leaking of the confidential information on examiners set to mark West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) papers.
The said document contains the names, schools, subjects, telephone numbers, home and email addresses, and other details of the examiners.
The Executive Director of Africa Education Watch, Kofi Asare, who raised the alarm on this, as well as leaks in Core Mathematics and Chemistry Practical Papers in a social media post, accused WAEC and the Ghana Education Service of collusion in the matter.
But the Public Relations Officer for WAEC, Agnes Tei Cudjoe downplayed the concerns and also said it will not compromise the integrity of the marking process.
She, however, admitted that it was an extremely sensitive document.
Kofi Asare, however, criticized WAEC’s attitude to leaks, which appear to be an annual occurrence for mostly examination questions.
He believes the Council’s posturing also does not help in resolving the problem.
