  • Specific Penalties: The government has mandated the indefinite withholding of the students’ WASSCE results and official testimonials. Additionally, the students have been entered into a new “black book” register for misconduct, and any non-graduating students featured in the video have been ordered to face immediate expulsion.

  • Accountability for Staff: School officials at the affected institutions have been issued queries for failing to provide adequate supervision during the celebrations.

  • Policy Shift: All secondary school principals in the state are now required to maintain similar misconduct registers. The Commissioner for Education, Science and Technology, Prof. Igbekele Ajibefun, emphasized that while students may celebrate their exam completion, the government will not tolerate behavior that compromises school discipline or the state’s educational reputation.
