How BECE candidates bribed teachers GHS2 per candidate to cheat
Information gathered by edulearnweb.com revealed that BECE candidates cheated in the 2020 BECE after bribing their own teachers.
For this reason, WAEC as an examining body has sanctioned these teachers who took GH2.00 from each candidate they were invigilating. The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) is battling to salvage its fast-eroding integrity and credibility after the just-ended 2020 WASSCE and will want to hunt down such teachers to save its name.
The GH2.00 bribe collected from each student gave the candidates the leeway to engage in multiple exam malpractices in the examination hall. But the question is, are our teachers who invigilated the 2020 BECE that poor to fall for GH2.00 bribes from JHS students?
Edulernweb further gathered that the unscrupulous teachers numbering about 11 threw the rules governing the 2020 BECE to the dogs and decided to be led by their quest to cash in at the expense of the credibility of the examination, their own integrity, and that of the West African Examinations Council (WAEC)
The unacceptable quest to help candidates gain an undue advantage in the exams and the total disregard of the possibility of being exposed was not deterring enough for these teachers.
The 2020 BECE candidates were permitted to copy from one another, teachers and other candidates supplied answers to the questions to the candidates, hence defeating the good intentions of their roles as invigilators who are expected to foil such acts.
One can say the BECE 2020 exam has been compromised as the students finished answering questions earlier than the time allotted for the examination.
The teachers then did their side of the bargain; supplying candidates the answers and looking on as the candidates copied frantically from one another.

The bribes contributed by the candidates were handed over to the disgraceful mercenary teachers whose unprofessional acts are drugging the names of excellent teachers who did a diligent work during the exams and the large numbers who did not come close to the examination.
Attempts by the teachers to connivance the security officials stationed at the centre failed and they were busted by some other WAEC officials.
Mrs. Agnes Teye Cudjo, the public relations officer for WAEC has said such acts must be discouraged. She admitted, however, that the Mathematics paper was leaked in epic proportions:
“The issue of exam question leakage is a huge problem for WAEC. Some of our officials in Obuasi yesterday arrested some teachers who had collected GHC2.00 and GHC1.00 from the students ostensibly to help them in the exams. All these are malpractices that should be strongly discouraged,” she lamented.
WAEC will not be left off the hook by Ghana as they have received the biggest portion of the blame for failing to act once again in less than a month with the WASSCE exams leakages still fresh in our memories.
Would WAEC take the infamous decision to call the BECE candidates back to at least resit the Mathematics? BECE candidates cheated in the just-ended examination, but WAEC is lacking that gut and moral right to apply the whip, especially when its own staff members are also sometimes caught providing fertile grounds for leakages for monetary gains.
