GES TO SANCTION INVIGILATORS GUILTY OF EXAMINATION MALFEASANCE

The Deputy Director of Ghana Education service, Stephen Adu has assured the public that GES will not spare any invigilator or supervisor who will be found guilty of examination malpractice in connection with the withholding of the results of 81 schools.
He explains that initial investigation has identified not only students, but invigilators who are assisting the officials with the investigations.
It will be recalled that recently WAEC released the results of last year’s WASSE examinations, withholding the results of 841 students and 81 schools across the country.
Though Mr. Adu could not state a specific time when the results will be disclosed, he was sure that those found culpable will be dealt with according to the law.

Commenting on whether the GES will use CCTV cameras in examination Halls in future exams, Mr. Adu said for now the service has not taken a decision on that but will use other technologies to assist in the monitoring of students.
He described such an investment as expensive in view of the large numbers of examination centers across the country.
Meanwhile reports say parents and students of the affected schools are living in fear and anguish over the delay in the determination of the issue.

Changing your thinking

If your thoughts could cause things to instantly happen, what kind of thoughts would you think?

If your values and priorities were to be continually manifested in the world around you, what values and priorities would you choose?

The fact is your thoughts, your values and your priorities most certainly have a major influence on the quality of your world and your life. Though you cannot instantly make something appear just by thinking about it, the things that do end up appearing in your life often do so as a result of your thoughts.

Your thoughts directly control your actions, and your actions have a major impact on the reality of your life. When you feed your moments with positive, loving, thankful thoughts, your life and your world cannot help but benefit.

The quickest way to improve your situation is to improve the way you think about it. Though your thoughts will not immediately change anything outside of you, they can immediately change your outlook.

And by adopting an affirmative, creative, grateful outlook on life, you receive a double benefit. Your actions become more focused on creating value and at the same time, they become more effective.

Changing your thinking can indeed change your world. So choose the best thoughts that you can possibly imagine.

By changing your thinking; you change your beliefs.

When you change your beliefs, you change your expectations.
When you change your expectations, you change your attitude.
When you change your attitude, you change your behaviour.
When you change your behaviour, you change your performance.
When you change your performance, you change your life!
