Students of Nedewura Jakpa Senior High Technical School have been surcharged the cost of damages caused during rampage during the ongoing West African Senior Schools Certificate Examination (WASSCE).
According to the management of the school, a bill of not less than ¢1,000 will be imposed on each student for repairs of damaged school properties.

“This indiscipline acts of yours has dented and scarred the 2020 Ndewura Jakpa Senior High Technical School year group and it will be with you forever and ever,” he stated.
He added, “You have harmed yourselves than any other grievances you wanted to present. Government has done what it can do to put you in a situation that you have a better future.”
Students of Nedewura Jakpa SHS on Thursday, August 6, protested over the sitting arrangement of 1.5 metres distance in the examination hall.
Meanwhile, the Municipal Director of Education of West Gonja, Ferguson Akey expressed disappointment over the students’ actions.
“Your actions has caused us to be in the news all over the Country, it's rather unfortunate. I wish it didn't happen and we have a lot of communication channels if you have any issues we expect you to address such issues to the management.
