Christian Methodist SHS students attack teachers during WASSCE exam

The 2024 West Africa Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) took a violent turn at Christian Methodist Senior High School (CHRIMETO) in New-Aplaku, Greater Accra Region.

A group of candidates, primarily from the Visual Arts program, erupted in anger after what they perceived as overly strict invigilation during their Integrated Science exam.

The unrest led to a scene of chaos where students threw stones and sachets of water at teachers, forcing them to flee for safety.

Walter Yesutor Adanunyo, one of the targeted teachers, recounted that he and his Head of Department were warned about the impending attack by a student.

Despite this, a mob gathered at the school gate, threatening violence. Mr. Adanunyo was injured in the confrontation and sought medical treatment.

The incident has been reported to the police, who are now on high alert as the students have threatened to return on September 20, the final day of the WASSCE.
