GES addresses poor 2025 WASSCE for School results concerns
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.
“Prior to the examinations, the Ministry of Education and the Ghana Education Service issued a firm directive that any teacher or official found aiding or abetting malpractice during the examinations would face strong sanctions. This was rigorously enforced.
The 2025 WASSCE was conducted under heightened invigilation, strengthened supervision, and strict adherence to examination protocols across all centres.
These measures significantly resulted in the apprehension of some students and staff who would have engaged in examination malpractices.
It is essential to appreciate that the outcome is a direct demonstration of the trend towards restoring the integrity of the examination process. A credible examination system serves the best interest of our students, our schools, and the nation,” it said in the statement signed by its Public Relations Officer (PRO).
As Ghana moves away from the Ghana-only WASSCE to the international WASSCE, written by all West African member countries in May/June 2026, GES has admonished students to prepare very well for the next year examination.
