Two candidates taking part in the ongoing Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) were reportedly denied the opportunity to write the first paper, Mathematics, after being allegedly locked in a room by their headmaster.
The students, who attend Big Six International School in Meduma, were expected to write the exam at Simms High School in Fawoade, the approved centre for candidates in the Kwabre East Municipality of the Ashanti Region.
According to reports, the headmaster of the private school allegedly confined the two students for their failure to settle outstanding school fees.
As a result, they missed the first paper of the nationwide examination.
