The Ministry of Education extends its warmest wishes to all final-year students across the country as they commence the 2026 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE), to be conducted in 1,017 centers.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
A total of 𝟓𝟎𝟗,𝟖𝟔𝟐 𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 - 225,274 boys and 284,588 girls from 1,020 schools - are expected to sit for the examinations across the country. This represents an increase of 𝟒𝟖,𝟏𝟐𝟔 𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 (𝟏𝟎.𝟒%) over last year’s figure of 461,736.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Candidates are urged to remain calm, focused, and disciplined throughout the examination period. Students must believe in their abilities and trust the preparation they have received over the years.⁣⁣

At the same time, the Ministry of Education issues a strong caution against examination malpractice in all its forms. The government fully supports the efforts of the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) and all relevant stakeholders to safeguard the credibility and integrity of the WASSCE.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Candidates are reminded that involvement in any form of cheating can result in serious consequences, including:⁣⁣
- Cancellation of papers ⁣⁣
- Disqualification ⁣⁣
- Possible legal sanctions ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
No examination result is worth jeopardizing one’s future.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
The Ministry also issues a firm warning to invigilators, supervisors, teachers, school officials, and any external persons who may attempt to assist candidates in examination malpractice. Examination fraud remains a major threat to the integrity of Ghana’s educational system and will not be tolerated.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Any individual found aiding, facilitating, or engaging in examination malpractice will be dealt with in accordance with the law. Government and WAEC remain committed to ensuring that the examination process is conducted in a peaceful, credible, and transparent manner across the country.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐞: Forty-three (43) teachers have been arrested for BECE exam malpractice and will face the full rigors of the law. All stakeholders in the ongoing WASSCE are cautioned to be guided, and persons found culpable will not be spared.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
The Ministry appreciates the public’s call to publish the names of all adults caught engaging in examination malpractices in the just-ended Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE). This proposal is under consideration.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
The Ministry therefore calls on parents, teachers, school authorities, security agencies, and all stakeholders to support efforts aimed at protecting the integrity of the examination process.⁣⁣
