Former Chairman, Council of Principal, Sylvester Meheux, has urged the government through the Ministry of Basic Education that, in order for the Free Quality Education to succeed, teachers that are not on payroll should not be assigned to supervise examinations as they normally have a system of ‘operation pay yourself’.

Whilst speaking on the recent published West African Senior Secondary School Examination (WASSCE) results, he said all schools should find ways to ensure that teachers’ lesson notes are signed and approved by the school authorities, at least before the beginning of every school week.

He said the new generation teachers yearn for too much money and that no sooner they are placed in those examination halls, than they do otherwise.

He said the government should also monitor private schools as it is done for government and government assisted schools when it comes to paying compulsory extra lessons fees for pupils.

He said the issue of compulsory extra lessons in all schools should be banned, adding that it is not guaranteed that those teachers are the best, therefore parents should have right to select syndicate/lesson teachers for their children and not the schools.

He also advised that teachers should be recruited on time or before the beginning of every academic session, adding that there is need to conduct unannounced school supervision in all schools.

He said the country used to have a lesser number of cases of exam malpractices, thus emphasizing the need to reactive that position.
