WASSCE begins today despite COVID-19 tension

WASSCE starts today, with the assertions of the state governments about putting the adequate infrastructures in place to curb the spread of COVID-19.

This is met with mixed reactions from teachers and parents alike. While some parents expressed satisfaction with the preparations, others said state governments were making claims that did not exist.

In a recent interview with parents whose wards are in different schools, they lamented about the COVID-19 being an avenue for schools to exploit the students.

They said that the need to provide face masks, personal protective equipment and other non-pharmaceutical items had increased their financial burden.
