Allegations have surfaced claiming that the management of Wiawso College of Education has instructed an entire class of trainees to retake a paper, sparking frustration and discontent among the concerned students.
The root of the issue dates back to the students’ initial enrollment at the college, where persistent errors and inconsistencies have plagued the transmission of end-of-semester results from the University of Education, Winneba (UEW) to the college.

The problems escalated further in the second semester last year, particularly in the Primary Education class, where a staggering 85 out of 153 students reportedly failed the Theories of Mathematics exam due to errors in their C.A. scores when the results were released.
According to the allegation, concerns were raised by the lecturer responsible for the affected course, who asserted that he had submitted the correct C.A. marks and expressed bewilderment at the discrepancies in the results.
