The NPP is only good at gaslighting and nothing else. This minister turned a blind eye on what I call an organised apor regime where parents were made to pay so that their wards could benefit from examination malpractices for good grades for propaganda purposes to save the face of the free shs with its challenges. This man supervised that as deputy and also as the substantive sector minister. These guys are dishonest people you cannot trust.

Nkurasisem..The success of these schools starts with the grade "A" gifted students they attract during the admisions process. Students with poor grades do not qualify to attend these grade "A" schools. If a school attract and admit garbage students it will produce garbage students. The marking scheme is useless if you are not capable of correctly answering the questions. All schools do mock exams, based on formart and the marking scheme of the actual exam.

It is true. During our days in school, we will be looking for Achimota, Presec, Mfantipim mock exams questions to study. Without them you are failing.

Stop complaining for attending a bad school. Mock exams and marking schemes are just study guides. What do you think the eventual outcome will be when about 90 percent of WASS students do not qualify to enroll at PRESEC.

You fail to mention that the schools you just listed admitted very brilliant students who stood to perform better than students in other schools. Having access to past exam questions is meaningless if the students have no access to good books and good teachers; and it helps a school to have brilliant students who foster the spirit of competition and success.

You don't know anything, who misinformed you? The answer is simple. Why post good students academically to some particular schools and expect the schools who get weak students academically to compete with them in terms of examination results? You were one worst minister who mastered the act of preventing weak students from getting extra tuition by cancelling extra classes. So please stop exposing your ignorance

The retired teachers who remain examiners can be replaced with practicing experienced teachers after undergoing examiners' training work shops.

Edutwum is a conman. I have been marking wasce for the past 14 years but what happened from 2020 to 2024 in this country never happened before. The system was relaxed so much so that, teachers were encouraged to assist students. In fact, the beginning of deterioration of examination from BECE to WASCE started when Adutwum was deputy minister and minister later till 2024.
He should give us break.

That is the simple cause. All the good students go to the grade A schools, and the 'sankwas' go to the other schools, and you expect the outcome to be different? Sometimes the teachers at the grade C and D schools are even better and hardworking than the grade A and B schools. As a teacher it is very difficult to teach a bad grade students than grade A students. The grade 'A' students already understand why they need to learn, and they also have the right parents who are ready to 'push' them to learn and provide all the right environment for them at home as well.

Dr. Yaw Adutwum, must mentally sick. So for any school to excel, the teachers must be examiners in the school.
The logic and the implications doesn't tally. Teachers of some schools aren't examiners, yet the schools excelled creditably.
The private schools, how many teachers are examiners Yaw Adutwum ?
When both teachers and students engage in serious teaching and learning, the ultimate is always achieved

Bullshit lies. Many schools need books and other supplies, not the trained examiners that you propose to send to schools. In other schools, there may be a lack of teachers, forcing the few teachers in the schools to do too much with many students. All schools can't perform equally, but it helps to ensure that all schools have the needed supplies that it takes to educate students. As Minister of Education, you wasted tax payers' money buying past exam questions for use by schools, and that isn't what it takes to breed success in education. You may have opened schools in the USA before relocating to Ghana, but it's obvious that getting the help of the USA government to fund your schools doesn't make you better equipped to address school issues in Ghana.

Well you have a point, but this is not the only factor.

Let us not forget the kind of students and socioeconomic backgrounds of those students play great role in those schools. Again, the infrastructure and environment within which those students study cannot be compared with other schools. So the former educational minister should spare us with his narrow view about what education is about and what influences exam results. This is a a clear indication that he has no idea but education he claims to be an expert in.

It's just common sense. If even a school like PRESEC has no teachers the students would still pass overwhelmingly. In fact most of the students are smarter than the teachers. No brilliant student becomes an SHS teacher.

This is an idiotic statement. I don’t see the relevance in coming to spell lies on irrelevant issues like this. Presec and other top schools have advantage because of the regular classes that take place and a series of mock exams. The familiarity between the inputs and the actual exams put them on top of their peers in all aspects. The village schools unfortunately, manage farming, distance to school and lack of resources to support their efforts. Adwutum at times talk like he has no sense at all, and this imbecile too wants to be president. We are just jokers in Ghana.
