The Member of Parliament for Bantama, Francis Asenso-Boakye, has petitioned the Head of the West African Examinations Council (WAEC), Dr Rosemond Wilson, over the cancellation of Integrated Science results for candidates of Pentecost Private School, Abrepo, in the 2025 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE).
In a letter dated September 15, the MP said his intervention followed concerns raised by the school’s headmaster, management committee, parents, and affected students.
The results were initially withheld on allegations of collusion, with the candidates later invited to WAEC’s Regional Office in August for inquiries. According to the petitioners, the students wrote the paper independently and were assured that a decision would be communicated.
However, on September 12, they were informed that their results had been cancelled, a move that has left the students distressed and uncertain about their educational future.
Mr Asenso-Boakye has therefore appealed to WAEC to urgently review and reinstate the results to enable the candidates to take part in the upcoming senior high school placement exercise scheduled for September 17.
As an alternative, he proposed that the affected students be given an early opportunity to re-sit the paper.
“Given the emotional impact on the children and the looming deadlines for SHS placement, I kindly request that this matter be given your earliest and most sympathetic attention,” his petition read.
