The Ghana Education Service (GES) has dismissed claims by former Education Minister Dr. Yaw Osei-Adutwum suggesting that management lapses contributed to the performance of candidates in the 2025 WASSCE.
In a statement released on December 1, 2025, and signed by Daniel Fenyi, Head of Public Relations at GES, the Service described the assertions as “misleading” and advised the public to disregard them.
The statement noted that the claims appear to be an attempt to shift attention from the former minister’s own handling of the examination process.
GES also refuted allegations that teachers’ allowances were cancelled, clarifying that the Controller and Accountant-General’s Department had already explained the reasons for the November payment delays.
According to the Service, the 2025 WASSCE was conducted under strict supervision, enhanced invigilation, and rigorous enforcement of rules, which led to the arrest of some students and staff attempting examination malpractice.
These measures, management said, helped restore integrity to the examination system.
GES emphasized that the 2025 results accurately reflect students’ academic abilities. With Ghana set to rejoin the international WASSCE in May/June 2026, the Service urged students to prepare adequately and assured the public of its continued efforts with stakeholders to improve teaching, learning, and examination standards.
