A day before the administering of the West Africa Examination Test for over 33,000 12th graders throughout the Country by the West African Examination Council (WAEC), the Liberian Government say it is cancelling the exams due to reported leakage on the campus of the Konola Academy in Margibi County when unknown persons burglarized one of the testing centers. Last week 9th graders went through the process with reported leakage.
Making the disclosure on local radio stations, the Spokesman of the Ministry of Education, Martin Bleatan said the leakage was discovered last week at one of the school campuses where the test should have been administered today.
He said some students are being investigated regarding the reported burglary, and disclosed that the decision was necessary in order to find out what actually took place
Mr. Bleatant has meanwhile disclosed that the next schedule for the administer of the test will be June 27, 2016.
For the past week 12th and 9th graders throughout the country have been preparing for the WAEC exams, but the cancellation of the 12th graders national exam has received disappointment from many of the parents whose children should sat for this exam.
