The Deputy Minister of Education, Dr Clement Abas Apaak, has cautioned teaching and non-teaching staff against aiding examination malpractice during the 2025 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).<\/p>\n
In a statement, Dr Apaak warned that any staff found culpable would face severe punishment.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe integrity of our examinations is non-negotiable, and all teaching and non-teaching staff are expected to uphold the highest standards of honesty, integrity, and accountability,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
The 2025 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) began on Tuesday, August 5, with practical papers. A total of 461,640 final-year Senior High School students\u2014comprising 207,381 males and 254,259 females\u2014are participating across the country.<\/p>\n
According to him, the Ministry is working closely with the Ghana Education Service, the West African Examinations Council, and security agencies to prevent any form of malpractice.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe urge all personnel to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity before, during, or after examinations. Protecting the fairness of the examination process is a collective responsibility of all.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe expect all stakeholders to work together to maintain a culture of integrity and to ensure that students succeed based on merit,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The Deputy Minister further stressed that the Ministry would not shield anyone found to have engaged in any attempt to aid or abet examination irregularities.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere must be zero tolerance for exam malpractice across the country; the young ones must grow in integrity and let no one of them be associated with exam malpractice,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Dr Apaak also encouraged candidates to remain focused and confident as they sit for the examination.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou have what it takes to succeed with integrity. Believe in yourselves and go into the examination room knowing that your best effort is enough,\u201d he advised.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
