“After 1 hour 20 minutes, some students came in, and as per the briefing or the information from WAEC, we are not expected to let them; they’ve stayed too long.”
“If it was 20, 30 minutes, and they have tangible reasons, we would let them in. These were some of the students who wrote their visual art papers and they kept coming late."

Citi News reported that similar incident had happened at Osu Presby SHS in Accra. Fifteen students were almost barred from entering the examination hall after they arrived late for the Social Studies paper.

The practical and theory papers for the 2024 WASSCE commenced at 1,000 centres nationwide on August 19.

The 2024 WASSCE group has 460,611 registered candidates (212,954 males and 247,657 females).
