Two students enrolled in the ongoing Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) were denied the opportunity to write the first paper, Mathematics, after being allegedly locked in a room by their headmaster.
The students, who attend Big Six International School in Meduma, were scheduled to take the exam at Simms High School in Fawoade, the recognised candidate centre in the Kwabre East Municipality of the Ashanti Region.
According to reports, the principal of the private school allegedly locked the two children for failing to pay outstanding school fees.
As a result, they missed the first paper of the national exam.
