John K. Kapi, the head of Public Affairs at the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has objected speculations surrounding the performance of final year students results being attributed to political reasons.
Speaking during an interview on Adom Tv, Mr.Kapi dedunked claims that, the examination council does not fabricate results to suit a government, rather, they go strictly by their marking scheme without any favoritism.
“It’s untrue that we alter results to favour any government. No one should claim our exams are politically influenced. What candidates deserve is exactly what they receive,” Mr. Kapi stated.
He further reiterated that, the claims are without basis because marking scheme’s are critically reviewed before marking of scripts begins and release of results.
“Such claims are baseless. No one within our organization would compromise our standards. We meticulously review and agree on marking schemes during coordination meetings to ensure consistency,” he explained.
Mr. Kapi revealed that, examiners have been asked to adhere strictly to agreed-upon criteria and not to use discretion to favour any candidate.
“We stand by our rigorous processes to guarantee fair and impartial examination outcomes,” he added.
