Invigilators in the Agortime-Ziope District of the Volta Region are threatening to boycott the upcoming Basic Education Certificate Examinations (BECE) over the non-payment of their accrued allowances by the Ghana Education Service (GES).
Final year students of the various Junior High Schools in the country are set to sit for the BECE on Monday, June 5.
But invigilators in the Agortime-Ziope District are threatening not to supervise the examinations because the GES has failed to pay them outstanding allowances dating back to two years ago.
The invigilators, numbering about 28, said several attempts have been made since 2015 to get the GES to pay the accrued allowances.
Godwin Keku told Citi News he and his colleagues in the district have resolved to boycott the exams which starts on Monday.
He added that, the situation is not peculiar to only their district, and thus called on all affected invigilators across the country to join in the protest and drum home their demands.
