The Ghana Education Service (GES) says improved supervision and strict enforcement of examination protocols were key in safeguarding the integrity of the 2025 WASSCE results. In a statement issued on Monday, December 1, GES said a firm directive from the Ministry of Education and the Service ahead of the exams warned that any teacher or official implicated in malpractice would be sanctioned, an order it stressed was “rigorously enforced.”
According to GES, heightened vigilance and tighter monitoring systems at exam centers led to the arrest of students and staff who attempted to engage in malpractice. This, it said, contributed to restoring public confidence in the conduct of national examinations.
“The outcome is a direct demonstration of the trend towards restoring the integrity of the examination process,” the statement emphasized.
GES also reminded candidates to prepare adequately as Ghana transitions from the Ghana-only version of WASSCE to the international format in May/June 2026, reiterating that it “will not compromise the integrity of examinations.”
