Senior Lecturer at the Department of Linguistics, University of Ghana Kofi Agyekum has partly blamed student's addiction to social media as the reason for this year's poor WASSSCE performance.

The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) said out of 242, 162 candidates who sat for the 2014 May/June West African senior school Certificate Examination (WAssCE), 68, 062 (28.11 per cent) qualified for tertiary admissions.

Cartoonist and graphic designer Stephen Appiah paints a picture of social media apps' reaction to a student's woeful performance.
