The Parents and Teachers Association (PTA) of the Ghana Secondary Technical School (GSTS) has joined the chorus of voices demanding the immediate release of the withheld Integrated Science results for over 1,100 students who sat for the 2024 West African Senior Secondary Certificate Examinations (WASSCE).
The PTA’s call comes amid growing pressure on the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) to release the results, which have been withheld due to ongoing investigations.
The National Union of Ghana Students (NUGS) and other educational stakeholders have also called for the immediate release of the results.
The PTA has described the withholding of the results as an “unfair delay” that has caused emotional and psychological trauma to the affected students. They argue that WAEC had sufficient time to complete any necessary investigations without jeopardizing university admissions.
The association has given WAEC an ultimatum to release the results immediately, threatening to stage a protest with the affected students if their demands are not met.
Parents and students plan to march wearing red bands to express their frustration over the delay.
WAEC is yet to respond to the growing demands for the release of the withheld results.
