A magistrate court in Twifo Praso has convicted four teachers over their involvement in examination malpractice during the recently concluded Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE).
According to a report, the presiding judge, Cephas Atidzoe, imposed a fine of GH¢3,000 on each of the convicted individuals.
One of the accused, David Kwabena Mensah, was reportedly found guilty of leaking examination questions after allegedly photographing BECE papers and sharing them on WhatsApp platforms.
Another convict, Ruth Ampah, was accused of assisting candidates during the examination by dictating answers to them.
The remaining two individuals, identified as Millicent Marfor and Kennedy Anokye, were said to have conspired to unlawfully possess examination materials at the Twifo Praso Senior High School examination centre.
The convictions come amid ongoing efforts by authorities to clamp down on examination malpractice and protect the integrity of national examinations across the country.
