Mr. Kwame Appiah-Kubi, President of the Asekyerewa Students’ Association (ASESA), said this had become necessary to check persistent examination malpractices.
Speaking to the Ghana News Agency (GNA) in Kumasi, he said Ghana could learn from the United Kingdom (UK), where there were more than five recognized examination bodies.
ASESA is an association dedicated to the promotion of the welfare of students in deprived rural communities.
Mr. Appiah-Kubi said the problem with examination paper leakages, withholding and cancellation of examination results, was becoming one too many.
For more than a decade this had kept recurring and it was time a workable solution was found, he added.
“WAEC is gradually losing its credibility and this is affecting the performance of students”, he said.
He called on Parent-Teacher Associations (PTAs) to stand up against what he said was “the incompetence of WAEC, to secure a better future for their wards”.
