The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has confiscated a mobile phone belonging to invigilator Bright Amoah at the Armed Forces Senior High Technical School (SHTS) in Accra.
The phone was seized on Monday, August 25, during WAEC’s monitoring exercise while candidates were writing the Social Studies paper, the first major examination of the ongoing WASSCE, according to a report by myjoyonline.com.

It noted that; “Amoah was found to be in possession of already-solved questions from the ongoing WASSCE. The phone reportedly contained material from the Oral English and Picture Making papers. Although these exams had already been written, WAEC suspects possible foul play, leading to the seizure of the device.”

Subsequently, the examination centre supervisor has been instructed to submit a report explaining why an invigilator had a mobile phone in the examination hall, a direct breach of WAEC regulations.
461,640 candidates across Ghana are taking part in the examination.
The candidates include 207,381 males and 254,259 females, representing a slight increase of 1,029 candidates compared to the 460,611 who participated in the examination in 2024.
