GSTS PTA demands release of withheld WASSCE results

-

The Parents and Teachers Association (PTA) of the Ghana Secondary Technical School (GSTS) is demanding the immediate release of the Integrated Science results for over 1,100 students who sat for the 2024 West African Senior Secondary Certificate Examinations (WASSCE).

At a press conference, the PTA expressed outrage over the West African Examinations Council’s (WAEC) decision to withhold the results.

They described it as an “inhumane stance” that has disrupted the academic progress of the students.

They argue that WAEC had sufficient time to complete any necessary investigations without jeopardizing university admissions.

“The emotional and psychological trauma inflicted on our children is unacceptable,” the PTA stated. “We are giving WAEC the opportunity to rectify this injustice by releasing the results immediately.”

The association has threatened to stage a protest with the affected students if the results are not released promptly.

Parents and students plan to march wearing red bands to express their frustration over what they describe as an unfair delay.

This demand adds to the growing pressure on WAEC, following similar calls from the National Union of Ghana Students (NUGS) and other educational stakeholders.

WAEC has yet to issue an official response regarding the situation.
