2025 WASSCE Graduates Who Want to Join Security Services Cry Out as Results Delay Threatens Their Future

• 2025 WASSCE Graduates Who Want to Join Security Services Cry Out as Results Delay Threatens Their Future.

For many 2025 WASSCE graduates in Ghana, time is not on their side. There is growing anguish among those hoping to join the Police, Prisons, Fire, and Immigration Services, as WAEC’s failure to release their exam results threatens to derail a life-changing opportunity. The government opened the recruitment portal for security services on 17 November 2025, hoping to absorb new officers.  But without their results, countless graduates are left powerless, watching their dreams hang in the balance.

Key Details on the Security Services Recruitment

1. What the Recruitment Covers

   

   • The recruitment drive is for four major internal security agencies: the Ghana Police Service, Ghana Prisons Service, Ghana National Fire Service, and Ghana Immigration Service.

   • This centralized recruitment is being conducted via a new Centralised Services E-Recruitment Portal (C-SERP) managed under the Ministry of the Interior.

     The portal opened on 17 November 2025, at 12:00 noon.

     

   • Originally, the plan was to close on 15 December, but some sources say the portal will remain open until 19 December 2025.

   • (Note: Some slight discrepancies in closing dates across different sources; the C-SERP Secretariat states 19 December.

     

The delay is not just an administrative hiccup — it is deeply personal. Imagine having studied for years, sacrificed sleep, poured your heart into exams, and then suddenly being told that your fate rests on WAEC’s next move. These young people are desperate. They don’t just want their certificates: they want the chance to serve their country, to protect their communities, and to build a stable future for themselves and their families. But with the recruitment window open and the results still undisclosed, anxiety and fear are rising sharply.

Even more frustrating is the lack of concrete timelines. Weeks have passed with only vague apologies and promises, while the recruitment clock ticks on. WAEC’s silence is deafening, and its inaction threatens to shatter the hopes of thousands who have pinned their future on a timely result release.

Already, WAEC has defended delays before, citing fairness and the need to investigate alleged malpractice. But emotion is running high among these prospective security recruits: they feel caught in the crossfire of policy, innovation, and bureaucracy. Some of them have even pointed to earlier court rulings, arguing that WAEC has a legal and moral obligation to release the withheld results without further delay.

To WAEC, the cry from these graduates is urgent: do the needful. Release the 2025 WASSCE results — not later, but now — so that young Ghanaians with big dreams of serving their country in uniform are not left stranded. Their future, their service, and their dignity are all on hold.
