The Ghana Education Service (GES) has extended heartfelt good wishes to all candidates sitting for the 2025 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE). In a press release dated July 25, 2025, GES acknowledged the dedication, resilience, and effort students have shown throughout their academic journey and encouraged them to remain focused and confident as they approach the final phase.
GES emphasized that success built on honesty and hard work is the most meaningful and long-lasting. Candidates were strongly advised to steer clear of any form of examination malpractice.
In its ongoing commitment to maintaining the integrity of the exam process, GES revealed that it now has the mandate to take strict disciplinary action. This includes dismissing any teaching or non-teaching staff, invigilators, or supervisors found involved in examination malpractice during the WASSCE. Students who engage in malpractice will also face serious consequences.
According to the statement, this directive is part of a broader mission to protect the credibility, integrity, and fairness of the WASSCE. Acts such as collusion, leaking of exam questions, aiding candidates, or compromising examination procedures will result in outright dismissal from the Service.
GES also reminded all examination personnel of the high level of trust placed on them. They were urged to uphold the highest standards of professionalism and ethical conduct. Regional and District Directors have been tasked with ensuring that this message is clearly communicated and enforced across all exam centres.
In conclusion, GES called on all stakeholders to support the effort to maintain the integrity of Ghana’s education system. They ended with words of encouragement to the candidates: “Best of luck to all our WASSCE candidates. Ghana is proud of you.”
