Dr Adutwum said.
The Education Minister encouraged all candidates, invigilators, supervisors, school authorities and teachers to observe all COVID-19 safety protocols as they write the exams devoid of all forms of examination malpractice.
“Let me assure you that my Ministry is working hand-in-hand with the Ghana Education Service, West African Examination Council and the Security Services to ensure a smooth and peaceful examination at all the 2,158 designated centres across the country,” Dr Adutwum said.
