The government didn't buy questions and answers for the students. The teachers were not allowed to prepare answers for the students. The invigilators were not coerced to allow students to copy from books and prepared notes. The few that have passed will not be a problem for lecturers at our universities. The Akufo Addo government did a disservice to our students by allowing them to cheat during examination period just to let stupid people to believe that his education policies were good.

They entered form one in 2022 when Akufo Monkey Addo and Minister Kentry were in power. So what government failure are you talking about. Do you think they use one year to sharpen a student's IQ?

The truth hurts but sacred. The previous gov't allowed for organised apor where the schools levied parents for apor just for political capital to cover up for the traffic light school curriculum.

We were all here when Akufo-Addo's government promised to let students copy two years ago, the failure in certain circumstances which provoked some students to vent their bile on the president with unprintable words when they couldn't steal during exams.

Keep sticking your ugly head in the sand, in the classic ostrich approach, and expecting good development.

The students who passed under Nana Addo have gone through university and passed with better grades than some of you had. Did the government buy the university questions too for them?

Mahama's government produced the same pathetic educational records from 2012-16 and that doesn't tell you anything right?

When Ghanaian students participated in International Robotic Competition and won under the previous government, they were given the answers or what is your point?

@Kwasi Addai, the truth is that instead of learning towards their exams, they are on social media platforms attacking and insulting their elders and seniors in the name of politics. Majority are defending the gov't hoping that their useless efforts will eventually be recognised by their role models. Even if they were given the questions beforehand and the invigilators allowed them to copy from books,as you are claiming, but without adequate preparations, failure will still be their results.

Just look at this year's integrated Science. Almost all the schools in the country have had it been withheld. How possible is this?
They know without Science no student can attend nursing training college. Criminals

This gives credence to the fact that, the previous successes chalked in the WASSCE results were indeed cosmetic just to gain a certain capital. Indeed the truth cannot be concealed in perpetuity.

Many Ghanaian children are suffering from malnutrition as a result they have not developed their full brain potential and logical thinking. Roughly 80% of the human brain is formed by the age of 2 years. A child who suffers from malnutrition in those crucial years will grow up with cognitive problems and perform poorly at school. Of course, the genes we carry from our parents also plays a role. Our socioeconomic environment (which we grow up in) is therefore a major determinant of how we perform at school.
