Member of Parliament for Builsa South, Dr. Clement Apaak, has issued a warning to the government regarding the possible repercussions of neglecting a GHC33 million debt owed to the West African Examinations Council (WAEC).

Dr. Apaak has emphasized that the failure to promptly settle these outstanding arrears may result in substantial delays in the grading procedures for the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) and the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) for the year 2023.

In a Twitter post on October 2, 2023, Dr. Apaak disclosed, “Gov’t owes WAEC 33M for BECE and WASSCE 2022. According to deep throat sources, if gov’t fails to pay the 33M arrears immediately, it could result in delays in grading BECE and WASSCE 2023 as WAEC will struggle to meet its obligations to those engaged to grade the papers.”
