The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has arrested four of its 20,000 examiners for their careless handling with of 2020 WASSCE scripts leading to the circulation of index numbers, scores and centre codes of candidates.
The WAEC told Daily Graphic Newspaper that the misconduct of the candidates lead to the circulation of some candidates scripts and details on the public domain.
The examiners were picked up at Adukrom, Cape Coast, Kasoa and Accra, where they were marking the papers.
The examination body condemned the act and called on all examiners to be diligent and protect the personal data of the candidates being entrusted to them as the law frowned on making them public without authority.
The spokeswoman for WAEC, Mrs Agnes Teye Cudjoe in the interview condemned the act of the script markers and urged the others to protect the confidential details of the prospective candidates being entrusted to them.
