He said the practice of some schools not printing examination papers for students, not organizing mock examinations, and requesting that children “write this term’s examinations” in their schoolbook has not been approved by the Ministry.
Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum told Parliament on Monday, December 4, 2023, that “I am not aware of this practice”, but was quick to add that, when such acts are reported such heads will be punished accordingly.
