Mahama Questions Recent WASSCE Results

John Dramani Mahama, the flagbearer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), has questioned the legitimacy of the most recent West Africa Senior Schools Certificate Examination results (WASSCE).

According to him, some invigilators relax on the job as teachers are found aiding students in answering questions.

This statement from the former President comes after Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum, the Minister of Education, declared that the results for this year are the best since 2015.

“In many places, they let the children cheat. You go to places, and the teachers are conniving with the students to cheat. The effect will be seen later,” Mr. Mahama said.

The former President, who was on the “Building Ghana Tour,” believes the development will have dire consequences for the country’s educational system in the future: “You certify these children, saying they are of this standard, either the BECE or SSCE, and that child will use that certificate, go abroad to a school, and they will find out that your qualification is not up to the standard you say it is.”.
