Accra: Nana Otuo Siriboe Safo Kankam, the Mawerehene of Adoagyir in the Eastern Region, has petitioned the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) following allegations that his son's Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) results were altered from good to worse within a two-day period.
According to Ghana Web, Nana Otuo Siriboe Safo Kankam revealed during an interview on Asempa FM on August 8, 2026, that his son initially received a lowest grade of 2 when he first checked his BECE results. Two days later, upon rechecking and attempting to print the results, the grades reportedly changed significantly for the worse.
Nana Otuo Siriboe Safo Kankam claims to have evidence, including screenshots of the differing results slips, and is demanding an explanation from WAEC regarding the alleged discrepancy. The issue arose amidst reports suggesting that WAEC had marked down candidates from private schools in the recent BECE, a claim that the examination body has denied.
The Kantanka family has also expressed gratitude to Ghanaians for their support during the final transition of their family member, reflecting broader community concerns and engagements over educational processes.
