\n
The Director of Public Affairs at WAEC, John Kapi, has disclosed that the West African Examination Council is still processing the recent payment the government made to them, following warnings that the final year exam was in limbo.<\/p>\n
He urged the government to fast-track the process to enable the council to gain access to the funds in order to augment its internal preparations.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt will certainly hold if this warrant translates into money, so what we can ask right now is for them to expedite action through the Government Integrated Financial Management System (GIFMIS) process so that it translates into cash for us to be able to go ahead and conduct the examination,\u201d he said on Starr FM\u2019s midday news.<\/p>\n
Mr. Kapi noted that the delays have impacted the council\u2019s preparedness as it has yet to pay for the cost of printing answer booklets and purchasing pencils and other exam materials.<\/p>\n
This comes after the government released GHC 47.125 million as part payment of the GHC 93 million it owed the examination management body.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the Executive Director of the Institute for Education Studies, Dr. Peter Partey-Anti, has advised students to focus squarely on the upcoming examination and not on the politics of delays surrounding it.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe uncertainty is definitely not good, but it does not lie with them to bother so much about whether they will be able to write the exams or not, especially when WAEC is indicating that the exams are coming on and the government is also showing commitment,\u201d Dr. Partey-Anti said.<\/p>\n
He admitted, however, that it was disturbing for the final exam candidates to be hearing about the government\u2019s unpreparedness in the news.<\/p>\n
