The Kasoa-Ofaakor District Magistrate Court has sentenced three people to a combined 20 months in prison for their roles in examination malpractice during the 2025 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).
The convicts are Samuel Armah, a teacher at Ghana College SHS, and two university students, Kwame Oteng Nkansah and Amedeka James. They were arrested in Kasoa while engaging in various exam-related offences.
Armah, who was serving as an invigilator, was found with leaked answers to the Social Studies Paper 1 on his mobile phone and dictating them to candidates. He was fined 80 penalty units and sentenced to eight months in prison.
Nkansah, a Level 100 student of Accra Technical University, was jailed for six months and fined 80 penalty units for impersonating Quayson Francis Atta, a candidate of Ghana College SHS.
James, a Level 100 student of the University of Ghana, received the same sentence for impersonating his twin brother, Amedeka Justice, during the same paper.
During a visit to one of the exam centres, the Chief Executive of the Awutu Senya East Municipality, Seth Sabah Sewornoo-Banini, observed lapses in candidate seating arrangements and said new measures would be introduced to curb future breaches.
