The Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT) has asked examinations body, the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) to work hard to avoid malpractices in the 2022 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE).

GNAT also urged all the invigilators to do same.

A statement issued by the association said “We believe this time round the West African Examinations Council would itself be vigilante and ensure a hitch-free examination.

“We are also hopeful that the invigilators would not condone exam malpractices and also make the exams hitch-free.”

GNAT also wished all the candidates well and asked them to eschew malpractices.

The association urged them to justify the investments that have been made in them by their parents and the state in the examination.

“[We] issue this statement to congratulate all candidates on the occasion of the writing of the 2022 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) and also wish them a successful examination.

“We are hopeful you will justify the investment and the trust reposed in you at this moment to make your nation, teachers, parents, yourself and all stakeholders proud.

“We encourage you all not to indulge in examination malpractice to save yourself from unforeseen embarrassments, trauma and anxiety.”
