A female candidate of the Basic Education Certificate Examinations (BECE) who gave birth a day before the re-scheduled examinations, has been declared medically unfit for the remaining papers.
The candidate, who started the examination at the Mater Ecclesiae School Centre at Sokode, was said to be restrained by a medical doctor, for being too weak to write the remaining papers.
Mr Dickson Pi-Bansah, Director, Human Resource, Ho Municipal Education Directorate, disclosed this to the Ghana News Agency (GNA) during a visit to some examination centres in the Municipality.
He said officials at the centre said though the candidate started the examination, she did not turn up on Monday for Integrated Science Paper Two, English Paper Two and Religious/Moral Education Paper Two after the childbirth.
Meanwhile, candidates in the Municipality began writing the cancelled papers without any hitch.
At OLA Centre ‘B’, all candidates who started the examination on June 15, this year, were present.
Mr Samuel Sarblah, Supervisor at the Centre said “everything is in order.”
The situation was not different in Mawuli School centre “A” and “B”.
The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) re-scheduled five papers after it cancelled them due to mass leakage.
