Africa-Press – Sierra-Leone. <\/strong><\/span>Sierra Leone\u2019s Minister of Basic and Senior Secondary Education, Conrad Sackey, has come under heavy criticism from concerned citizens for his recent actions, particularly regarding the announcement of national exam results and the handling of issues with the West African Examinations Council (WAEC).<\/p>\n

The Minister\u2019s approach has been described as unprofessional and dismissive of the serious challenges faced by students and teachers across the country. Critics argue that Sackey\u2019s failure to address the widespread discontent over the delayed release of exam results, and his reluctance to investigate the unlawful withholding of these results by WAEC, has left thousands of students without access to their fundamental right to education.<\/p>\n

Sierra Leoneans have also expressed frustration with Sackey\u2019s decision to halt initiatives that once supported students, such as opportunities for repeaters. This move, they argue, exacerbates the already high dropout rates and threatens the future of young people in the country.<\/p>\n

Adding to the growing discontent, many have voiced concern that Sackey\u2019s actions appear to be driven by personal interests rather than a genuine commitment to improving the nation\u2019s education system. This perception has led some to suggest that the Minister may be retaliating against those he is meant to serve, raising questions about his leadership and priorities.<\/p>\n
