The Ghana Education Service (GES) has dismissed as false a viral social media statement claiming that floodwaters swept away West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) papers, forcing affected candidates to rewrite their examinations.
The purported statement, which has been widely circulated on social media, alleged that heavy rains on June 29 caused examination papers to be washed away, making some of them unavailable for the ongoing examinations.
It further claimed that GES was considering a rewrite for affected papers and would communicate a revised examination timetable and further details in due course.
However, GES has described the circulating statement as fake and urged the public to disregard it.
The Service also called on the public to verify information before sharing it, advising students, parents and other stakeholders to rely only on official GES communication channels for updates.
