The Ministry of Basic and Senior Secondary Education in Sierra Leone has voiced its strong support for the West African Examination Council (WAEC) following recent allegations of examination malpractice circulating on social media.
In a press release issued on October 9, 2024, WAEC firmly rejected these claims, distancing itself from any involvement in examination irregularities.
The Ministry has fully endorsed WAEC’s disclaimer, highlighting the importance of responsible communication in an era where misinformation can spread rapidly online.
“The Ministry is committed to ensuring the credibility of the examination process and upholding fairness for all students,” a representative stated.
They urged the public to seek out official communications instead of relying on unverified social media reports when discussing educational integrity.
Furthermore, the Ministry cautioned against the dangers of spreading unfounded rumors, which can undermine the reputation of educational institutions and jeopardize students’ futures.
It assured stakeholders that both the Ministry and WAEC are actively investigating the allegations and are prepared to address any verified instances of malpractice promptly.
The Ministry has called on all educational stakeholders to support efforts to maintain high standards within the education system and to remain vigilant against misinformation.
It emphasized that collective action is crucial for preserving public confidence in Sierra Leone’s educational framework.
