WAEC to deploy technology to tackle exam practice – Mrs Lamptey

The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) says it is positioning itself to deploy more technology in its operations to ensure that the assessment of results remains credible.

“As we look forward to the years ahead, we are positioning ourselves to deploy technology even more in our processes to ensure that our assessment results remain credible.”

Mrs Wendy E. Addy-Lamptey, the Head of the National Office, WAEC, was speaking at the Council’s Stakeholders Forum aimed at giving the public an insight into its operations to create mutual understanding.

Mrs Addy-Lamptey, therefore, appealed to the public to refrain from putting out false information that seeks to erode the credibility of its examination and affect the acceptance of results internationally.

“As the office prepares to begin the administration of theory papers for the ongoing WASSCE, I wish to urge members of the public to refrain from putting out false information as this erodes the credibility of our examinations and affects the acceptance of results internationally.”

The forum, which formed part of the WAEC’s 70th-anniversary celebration, was on the theme: “Seventy years of Reliable Educational Assessment- the Journey, Challenges and the way forward.”
The forum attracted students from various schools, past and present staff of WAEC, and members of the Conference of Heads of Assistant Secondary Schools (CHASS), among others.

Mrs Addy-Lamptey noted that in recent times, WAEC was blamed when candidates writing examinations for Council for Technical and Vocational Education and Training (CTVET) were caught cheating at Bolgatanga and Bawku TechnicalInstitutes.

She said the council received calls from International and national stakeholders on the issue and urged the media to authenticate information regarding examinations.

“Our friends from the media, we wish to gently remind you that it’s our collective responsibility to ensure that we do not erode the credibility of our certificates by incorrect reporting.
