The Member of Parliament for Abuakwa South, Dr. Kingsley Agyemang, has strongly criticised the Ghana Education Service (GES) for its public statement on the poor performance recorded in the 2025 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).
Dr. Agyemang, a former Registrar of the Ghana Scholarships Secretariat, described the GES commentary as “a travesty of information, disingenuous, political, and an attempt to impugn WAEC’s hard-won reputation.”
Speaking on JoyNews’ P-Channel, he questioned why the GES appeared to distance itself from the outcome of an examination conducted within a framework it directly supervises.
He emphasised that WAEC has established a credible assessment system trusted across West Africa, warning that turning the council into a political scapegoat undermines its integrity and the efforts of teachers and examiners who sustain the evaluation process.
Dr. Agyemang urged the GES to focus on addressing the root causes of poor results rather than “throwing shadows on WAEC.” He stressed that genuine educational reform requires honesty, transparency, and data-driven engagement, not public deflection.
He called for a national, evidence-based conversation on learning outcomes to ensure that education reforms are guided by facts rather than political partisanship.
