The management of the Ghana Education Service (GES) has addressed public concerns regarding the poor 2025 WASSCE for School results performance of candidates who sat for the examination.
In a statement sighted by GhanaEducation.org, GES said it clarity comes after the immediate past Minister for Education, Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum to attribute the performance of students in the 2025 WASSCE for School to unsupportive management practices of the Ghana Education Service.
“It is not true that the Ghana Education Service (GES) has cancelled any allowances due to teachers as claimed by Dr Adutwum in his engagement with some media houses.
Indeed, the Controller and Accountant-General’s Department (CAGD) has publicly clarified reasons for the non-payment of the November allowances for teachers,” the GES said in the statement.
It has urged the public to disregard the statements made by the former Minister, Dr Adutwum, regarding the 2025 WASSCE results and treat them as an attempt to shift focus from his shortcomings in managing the examination process.
According to the management of the Ghana Education Service (GES), it views the 2025 WASSCE results as a true reflection of the academic performance of the candidates, saying the outcome is a credible representation of students’ abilities.
