The Ghana Education Service has directed that 13 dismissed Senior High School students write their remaining papers under the company of their guardians to the examination center but maintains the students have been dismissed.
The GES reviewed its sanctions against the students following President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s intervention, which sought to give the affected students an opportunity to write the ongoing WASSCE.
Following an engagement with the Minister of Education at the behest of the President, the GES in a statement said “Heads of the affected schools should allow the students involved to come to the compound to write any paper they are due under guardian escort.”
It further directed that the affected students have not been absolved from other sanctions that were handed on them.
They are expected to leave the school compound immediately after writing their papers.
Other sanctions the GES imposed included discharging students of schools where property were destroyed.
The students were barred from further writing the WASSCE after they allegedly engaged in acts of violence after their Integrated science paper in the ongoing exams.
However, President Nana Addo on Sunday admonished the Ghana Education Service to give the 14 students who were barred from writing the ongoing West African Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination the opportunity to sit for the exams.
