NDC followers don't have interest in going to school.That is why most of their members go out to buy Certificates. GTEC is now their No 1 enemy.

President John Dramani Mahama cannot escape blame for this massive failure. His party brought BECE & WASSCE to replace O & A Levels. The consequence is the students who are half baked and cannot pass Pre-University exams.

We had the most competitive educational system in the world, which bred brilliant people. Then came someone who thought it wise to change our educational system.The end results is what we are witnessing now.

John Mahama must not come here with their bogus explanation about vigilance. If it's all about vigilance, the students should have
failed in all other subjects.

They must go back into the statistics and trace students performance over the past years and apply the methods that were put in place which helped the students to excell.

Can you tell us about NDC's records on education before the introduction of free SHS? As far as the 60's, past questions are bought for the students to study. If you criticize what your opponent is doing as bad then come in and do the worse, what do you think?

Any government that toy with education is not fit to govern because without education, we cannot visit this site and comment.

We the citizens have to decide on what we want and we direct the political parties to implement them. What Education System do we want?
When citizens let Political Parties do the thinking and decision making the results shall always be the blame game that is going on in Ghana.

Ghanafuo, Mahama had said that "Decision taken is the toughest thing for him", so why are you blaming him? He is the only president whose government did not include teachers, nurses in the national budget but expect the teachers to go to the classroom and teach.

Recently, what did we hear from teachers and nurses concerning their pay? Also, what was John Mahama's records on education when he was president from 2012-16, good or bad so, why are we blaming the school children?

NDC have no interest in education rather, they prefer the children to be wayward so that giving 20 cedis, they can use them as "Human Rags" during crises.

In opposition, NDC criticized anything the NPP government was doing about education for them to come and make sure Ghanaians accept failure as the best option.

Your Excellency, cause the continuous assessment system to be abolished. It's the number one killer of students performances.
Lazy teachers use it to deceive parents and guardians as well as the WAEC. 2.Call for views from the general public rather than the Ghana Education Service. They will gloss over the problem to shield themselves from blame. Divergent views relating to teaching in the GES is considered an act of arrogance especially when it comes from a junior staff. Ban the 'best teacher award' and replace it with a 'best performed school award'. End mass promotion and the the results will be better. Sieve the teaching staff at the basic and secondary levels many are there by virtue of having the certificates. You had the idea about this during your first term by initiating the Licensure Examination unfortunately you turned against it to win political points this time round.

President Mahama came to power less than a year ago. The mass failure is attributable to the fact that they were unprepared at the time they sat for the exams. The three years in SHS must be collectively looked as the period of preparation. Thank God the results have sifted the wheat from the chaff, and those who can gain entrance into universities are the best cream.

How ? So how can everyone write the same thing? This is done to reduce the number of students who will be applying to go to do nursing

This mass failures will persist if GES continues to mix brilliant and poor students in big schools like Prempeh, Opoku Ware, Mfantsipim, Achimota, Adisadel and the rest. The more brilliant ones can grasp faster making the poor students to lag behind. And if half of the class are able to grasp their lessons quickly, the teacher moves along with them meanwhile the poor students won't be able to catch up with them. Let the poor students be in the classes B and C schools to be nurtured gradually. They can't cope with the speed in the Class A schools. As for this one, l said it when Dr Adutwum decided to mix the brilliant students with the poor students.

Good governance. Waec must applauded for their stance on exam malpractices. It is due to this that the real verdict is realised. We are not honest with ourselves. We have normalised cheating. Teachers, school owners who wants good rating for their schools are the biggest culprit here. If we are able to crack or minimise practice, the children will learn to earn what they deserve.

Very well said, Mr President. Tackling and improving basic education is a sine qua non in this effort. I'm also most pleased that improved invigilation will remain. For both basic and secondary levels, there is the need to improve quality contact hours between the teacher and the student during school time. Also improve teachers salary and cancel payment to the teacher for extra classes so that they teach well during school time.
