The Ministry of Education will hold a meeting with the Ghana Education Service (GES) today to consider the directive by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to reconsider the dismissal and barring of 14 final-year students from writing the rest of their papers in the ongoing West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo directed the Minister of Education, Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh, to engage the GES on the issue because the errant students deserved a second chance.

Confirming the meeting with the GES yesterday, Dr Opoku Prempeh said: “I will meet with the GES tomorrow morning and take it from there,” he told the Daily Graphic.

The Director-General of the GES, Professor Kwasi Opoku-Amankwa, confirmed that the minister had scheduled a meeting with him for this morning.

“Since this is a presidential request, our meeting will discuss all the issues and come up with the modalities to carry it out,” he said.
