He made these comments at the 70th anniversary of Opoku Ware Secondary School.

According to Nana Addo, these results close all debates on the “validity of the Free Senior High School policy”. President Nana Addo dropped a table to compare the WASSCE pass rates for the year 2016 when Mahama was President, and the year 2022.

In a table that he shared on his official Facebook page, the pass rate for English was 51.6 percent juxtaposed to the current 60.39 percent. There was a similarly significant and undebatable improvement in the performance of Mathematics (33.12 percent in 2016 and 61.39 percent in 2022), Integrated Science(48.35 percent in 2016 and 62.45 percent in 2022), and Social Studies(54.55% in 2016 and 71.51% in 2022).

“The 2022 results are the best of the last eight years. Surely, there can no longer be any controversy about the validity of the Free SHS policy and its consequential measures. It is working and working well”, Nana Addo explained.

Meanwhile, 32.05% Of The 2022 WASSCE candidates failed English.

Undoubtedly, one of the best Senior High Schools in Ghana, the name of this school evokes naturally the memory of that great warrior King of Asante, Okatakyie Opoku Ware I, who succeeded and consolidated the gains of his uncle, Opemsuo Osei Tutu I, and helped expand Asanteman to her greatness and fame. We take pride in his name, and that of all the great kings of the Osei Poku Oyoko Dynasty, including the latest descendant, the outstanding Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, who has done so much to bring renown and glory to our nation and its history.

I congratulated management, past and present, teaching and non-teaching staff, and students for their roles in bringing Opoku Ware School this far. The can-do spirit that saw to the birth of the school, laced with fortitude and dignity, in the face of inevitable challenges, embodies the Ghanaian spirit that we must continue to nurture in order to realize our full potential as a nation.”
