Yes. Mahama is proud of poor performance because he was a bad student when he was at Tamale Secondary school in the 70s. He is allergic to "Excellence Performance." Just look at his ministers and you can understand what l mean:
Some of them were DINNING HALL prefects. Haruna Iddrisu plagiarized his Master degree thesis, the list can go on unending. How many of his government lawyers have ever won a case against others in the court? I rest my case.

Traditional Satanism is not simply an inversion, but a complete rejection of the images of a
0244908520particular culture, religion, or philosophy. From there a Satanist uses those images against the ethos itself, that was once his own conditioning. Persons who participate in traditional Satanic masses sometimes experience a king of 'sartori', a sudden enlightenment, to an increase in their own consciousness, and feeling stronger and satisfied because they had broken with the constraining opposites. In other words, at its highest level Satanism uncovers what the ethos of a particular community or society has covered up through images, dogma, words and ideas, returning the individual to the primal chaos out of which 'opposites' were created." ~ Magister Hagur, Temple of Atazoth Office

ARE THE PRESIDENT OF GHANA, MINISTER AND DEPUTY MINISTERS OF EDUCATION AND THE DIRECTOR GENERAL OF EDUCATION SAYING THEY ARE HAPPY WITH THESE RESULTS WHEN LESS THAN 50 PERCENT OF THE CANDIDATES, INCLUDING RE-SIT AND REPEATING STUDENTS QUALIFIED TO ENTER UNIVERSITY? WHY ARE THE DIRECTOR GENERAL OF GES AND MINISTER FOR EDUCATION COMPARING THIS YEAR'S RESULTS ONLY WITH LAST YEARS POOR PERFORMANCE? SHOULD THE WORST RESULTS BE THE MEASURING ROD OF PERFORMANCE? DO YOU GROW BY MEASURING YOUR PERFORMANCE AGAINST THAT OF THE POOREST STUDENT IN YOUR CLASS? IS THAT NOT DONE BY THE POOREST PERFORING STUDENTS? WHAT TYPE OF SOCIETY DO WE WANT TO LEAVE BEHIND? THE STANDARD OF OUR EDUCATION IS FALLING, YET THE VERY LEADERS OF OUR COUNTRY ARE THE FIRST TO JUMP IN DEFENCE OF OUR POOR PERFORMANCE AND INSULT WHOEVER CRITICISES THE SYSTEMS CAUSING THE CHALLENGES. ARE OUR LEADERS NOT PROVING TO BE THE MOCKERS THE BIBLE IN PROVERBS 9:7-8 ADVISE THE WISE NOT TO CORRECT? THEY MOCK EVERYONE INCLUDING THEMSELVES. THEY CALL OUR LEADER 'DEAD GOAT' THE FIRST STEP TO FINDING SOLUTIONS TO YOUR CHALLENGES OR IMPROVING ON YOUR SYSTEMS PERGORMANCE IS IDENTYING YOUR CHALLENGES. SINCE THE VERY POLICY MAKERS AND IMPLEMENTERS OF EDUCATIONAL POLICIES ARE PROUD OF THE RESULTS WE ARE GETTING AND ARE READY TO INSULT THEIR CRITICS, THE WISE WILL KEEP MUTE IF OUR LEADERS MOCKINGLY DANCING TO THE 'YENTIE OBIAA' BEAT, THEN THE BRAINS IN GHANA SHUT UP.

Mr.Kor , don't mind that foolish and useless certificateles mucus smelling Akufo Addo. When people are talking of education, he should be the very last to talk about it. What does he know? Has he yet shown Ghanaians his law certificate? He is so frustrated that he speaks rubbish before he thinks. A disgraceful third class lower from Legon. Even that third class is doubtful. Stupid rattling all because he wants to be president. Records have shown that this government has done far better than they did during their time. Akufo Addo should give us a break. He should rather give us our drillship money.

Poor judgement by the Director of education, if the curriculum which was used to produce Busia and Kofi Annan is the same as today, then Ghana is in serious crisis. Times have changed and move on, so curriculum must be updated all the time. While in Ghana for holiday last year as a teacher in UK, i reviewed some of the textbooks and the curriculum students in SHS follow and are not fit for modern learning. It is still the same “chew, pass and forgot” curriculum, no any proper application of learning. Questions of most the past papers i had a chance to look at, were all to do with recall, describe, explain and some unnecessary calculations in physics which as no relevance to the students. Until we have a strong leadership for our education devoid of politics, this type of stories will reoccur every year.

Let all those passing uninformed comments go check the records and ascertain how the results have been since WASSCE was introduced. You don't just hide in your corner and passed comments over something you have no clue of just because a parasitic political desperado has made a very hypocritical and false statement. For your information, the worst results were recorded during the Kuffuor NPP era. In fact the worst result since 2009 is better than the best results over the entire NPP period. This is a fact, and you can go check out for yourselves. It is no secret. Nobody is saying these result are okay for us as a nation, but for people who superintended over abysmal performances to pretend to be better managers of education is an insult to every reasonable and rational human being. Nana Addo is a failure. He was a failure as an Attorney General (Remember the famous "President vrsTsikata case?) In fact Kuffuor had to sack him. The as foreign minister, he was worse. Missing diplomatic passports were found with drug dealers (Remember Raymond Amana who was arrested in Brazil with cochise had a diplomatic passport. He was Nana's inlaw) Ghanaians were killed in the Gambia and the foreign minister did nothing, and said nothing. It was an opposition MP then, John Mahama who raised the the issue, and when he became a VEEP, brought closure to the issue with the Gambian government paying compensation to the families. As an MP for Abraham for 12 years, Nana did nothing significant with his common fund. That is the failures we are talking about, who goes round making fantom promises without thinking about the global economic situation and its impact on Ghana just because he feels people people like those ignoramuses making silly comments on this platform will believe any nonsense and vote for him. In 1996, Nana led 4 people to their deaths through violent Kumepreko demo against VAT, yet when they won power not only did his NPP retain VAT, they went ahead to increase it, increased fuel by 60 percent after carrying gallons on campaigns claiming the price was expensive and that Rawlings was insensitive. These are the Deceitful, Lying, Ethnocentric, Arrogant goons making noise all over the place. They are not be be trusted under any circumstances. These are the people whose own party chairman, Harruna Esseku said publicly that they were stealing money, taking kickbacks and packing them into car booths at the seat of government. Their own MP, came out and said that NPP Mrs were each paid 5,000 dollars to approve the sticky Vodafone deal. Nana Addo was one of those MPs. He now goes round portraying himself as incorruptible: and some hallucinating idiots tout him as such. What trash!!! Nana, failure right from his University days (Remember the 3rd class gifted him?) is not fit to lead this noble country. Do you remember what Kofi Coomson, an NPP supporter said about Nana, that he Coomson will not be able to sleep if vindictive, arrogant Nana becomes president. That is the failure we must all reject so that posterity does not judge us negatively. The signs and examples are clear to all well-meaning Ghanaians.

The big question is, why won't the govt be proud of this abysmal results? They have achieved their goal to fail Akan kids and let ewes and northerners have access to our public universities. Why are Ashanti and Akim schools together with some few central and brong being marked by ewe and northern examiners? An insider once told me this but I refused to believe but I think I was a fool not to. May the statistical board give us the breakdown and everybody would be shocked that a The Ashanti Project is still in place. Way forward, let Akan examiners mark Akan students papers and ewe examiners mark ewe students and northerners mark their students etc and waec would gather all transcripts and examiners in Accra and each goes over others marking before grading. In Europe lecturers mark their exams and send results with recommendation to the exams board. Please do this Ghana to save Akans from these savage examiners!! Thank you!!!!

Politicians should stop playing football with the lives of Ghanaian children. Lives are at stake here. How can you set up schools under trees? How can we build a few schools and not provide quality teaching learning materials? Why should heads of schools provide students with low quality text books and expect children to pass exams.

It is time for Akuffo Addo and Bawumia to wake up to their intelligence and react intelligently by making a good thorough investigation over every issue that prop up if they think they want to use those points in their political utterance, else they will always exposed themselves to laughter which will not talk well of their personalities

Politically Ashantes are not smart and intelligence nor wise in their political utterances because they see and understand politics as a thing of fight or hatred thus in their political mindset they can create falsehood or political fallacies just with a single aim of destroying their political opponents.

This is a good point to show how they manipulate others to fall into the pit, and they now have perfectly done that and had pushed Akuffo Addo to follow that mindset of disgracefulness considering the reaction by the head of the Ghana Education Service that all that Akuffo Addo stated about the poor results of the WASSCE WAS UNTRUE.

The saddest thing on the part of those within the NPP who are of other tribes is that when the Ashantes push their foolish mindset ideas on the table and the non Ashantis within the NPP fails or refuse to follow they would easily describe them as not experienced in politics.

This styled of pushing the non Ashantes around is what had caused Akuffo Addo to make this sad low intelligence mistakes. Akuffo Addo and Bawunia should be smart and real in their political utterances so that in the future they would not make themselves cheap to the Ghanaian voters.

BREAKING NEW!!!! The former head of Musama Disco Christo Church, Akaboha III Miritaiah Jonah Jehu-Appiah has been rushed to an undisclosed hospital in the Central Region for an immediate treatment. It is believed that the ex-prophet who for sometime now has hit the headlines of being a pedophile is suffering from a mental agony also known in a normal day translation as being mentally challenged. His behaviour has been very questionable of late, he has been challenging the ruling of both the supreme and the higher courts of Ghana and claim he has spiritual powers to protect himself against any contempt of court charges that would be brought against him.
At a function today to unveil his diabolic plans to his cohorts and myopic thinkers referred to by faithful MDCC eminent members as GO SLOW, he was seen showing his DICK to a few people around to see if he was really a pedophile. This prompted a quick action from his brothers and a lady believed to be one of his girl friends to quickly call on a tro-tro driver to send him quickly to an undisclosed hospital located in the Central Region. Meanwhile, the interior minister, the regional commander of Ghana police and the IGP are still battling on who actually permitted him to celebrate his so-called festival in the Holy Village of the Musamans. More to follow. Stay tuned.........

Mr director general please correct your English first before you even define your position on the issue. As far as I know there's no expression like " I bet to differ" it should be "I beg to differ" so correct that and come again

I bet to differ and I beg to differ. Even director general of Education couldn't use the correct expression yet he's justifying abysmal performance of students.

This Director General should be ashamed of himself and should be considering resigning from his post. In Britain children's overall pass is sometimes 95% and it's still considered not good enough. Even though he didn't mention the overall pass rate, I believe it's nothing to write home about hence the director's silence. But how can you be proud of 32.18% pass in mathematics?. This director must rethink his position . And oh director we are in the 21st century which is full of innovations and technological advancement and you still think the Ghana education curriculum does not need review. You must be living in a different planet. In other parts of the universe where great men have invented things and achieved greater heights, their curriculum have been revised to suit the needs of current situations. So I'm sorry Mr director general you have got it wrong that the curriculum that produced kofi Annan and Dr Busia are still relevant today. Mr president, its about time you appointed people with vision and are innovative to certain positions for the benefit of all.

Thank you.

Nothing is so worrying about our national development efforts than being satisfied with mediocrity. For what good and sound reasons is the GES Boss proud, when only 32% of the candidates qualified for university admission? May be, he and people like him do not know or understand the criteria for University and other tertiary institution admissions. Having spent huge resources in preparing these young people for training in various professions, only 32% meet the criteria for further training, and you say you are proud, parents and management of schools should all be proud. Proud of What? Proud of jeopardizing the future of these young ones? Give us a break, man.

The students themselves are not learning but some stupid people will be blaming the government and the teachers.In the olden days what did our parents used to learn but nowadays we the students want to get everything on silver platter meanwhile we have to learn to withstand some circumstances. If u know the reason why u r schooling even if there is light out ,u have to find any means to learn not that u will be waiting for the light to come, only stupid people do that because nobody can say that if he or she is going to write exam the next day and the day before the exam, there was light out ,he or she can be waiting for the light to come before he or she will Start learning. The students are not learning at all .

How can you be proud of a 66 percent failed rate? That is very horrible and it's reflective of the type of economy Mahama is managing in Ghana. Very sad statement indeed...
