Disregard report of paying $98m to chinese firm to mark BECE- Ministry of Education

The Ministry of Education has asked the public to disregard reports purporting that it contracted a Chinese firm to mark BECE scripts for a sum of 98 million dollars.

In a statement, Head of  the Public Relations Unit at the Ministry, Vincent Ekow Assafuah said the West African Examinations Council, WAEC remains in charge of marking examinations through its recruits and contracts teachers for that purpose. 

The statement said it is surprising that although the said story referred to a news conference held at the Jubilee House addressed by the Vice President, none of the major media houses was present to publish or broadcast the story.

The statement urges the public to ignore such concocted stories and treat it with the contempt it deserves.
