Bawku SHS reopens for final-year students to write WASSCE after deadly aAfter nearly two weeks of closure following a violent attack that tragically claimed the life of a student, final-year students of the Bawku Senior High School have begun returning to campus to sit for the ongoing West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE). On Tuesday, August 5, the school successfully commenced the Visual Arts practical examination, with all 95 registered students present and participating. The school was temporarily closed on Sunday, July 27, after an armed gun attack on campus left one student dead, triggering widespread fear and panic among students, parents, and staff. Authorities swiftly shut down the school to restore calm and allow for security assessments. Although the closure was seen as a necessary step to protect lives, it came at a critical time as final-year students were preparing for their WASSCE exams. Following high-level security consultations and a traditional blood-cleansing ritual conducted by traditional authorities to spiritually cleanse the campus, the school was partially reopened—specifically to enable candidates to write their exams under tight security. So far, more than 400 out of the 703 registered WASSCE candidates have returned to school. Security presence on campus has been significantly increased, with both uniformed officers and plain-clothes personnel deployed to maintain order and protect students. The Headmaster, Rev. Abugbilla Bukari, expressed gratitude for the support and called on the Ghana Education Service (GES) to consider a full reopening of the school to restore normal academic activity. He said the security situation in the school has significantly improved with the institution of measures including 24-hour police positioning on campus. “I can confidently say that the school is safe and there is no problem. With the current security measures in place, my students can have their exit exams without any problem.” “Prospective BECE candidates who want to come to the Bawku Senior High School should feel free to choose our school and not listen to naysayers who want to destroy the school by saying there’s violence,” he said.ttack
