Look into the biased interpretations of WASSCE...” Injustice

A call on a Government, to look into the biased interpretations of WASSCE...” Injustice

There has been vast ignorance in our society, which persistently holds back

the progress of our nation, and yet, anticipates only Presidents to pull it forward.

This guarantees standstill in governments’ performance and will lead to

dissatisfaction in every president ever to inherit the seat of our nation.

As we are all doubt aware, education has been the spine of our nation’s

development through socialization by means of creating awareness in uneducated

persons, exploitation in the id, ego, and super egoism which framework democracy in

terms of civility, dynamism and justification and also acquisition of skills, which

are embraced in systematic approach to the tertiary level. Deprivations to such

opportunities devastate the welfare of our nation and individuals at large.

Everybody can bear with me or by statistics that, most candidates who enter

into tertiary institutions or related; sometimes with lower grades, astoundingly,

performs better than those with higher ones. It is real and 100% true and that if

statistics is to be correlated, it can be ascertained that most students who scores

aggregate 6 into secondary school or tertiary institutions declines to 15 or

lesser and vice versa for those with 15 above into the same institution, during

their training in the school. This might be outstanding to the one time assessment

by WAEC, which does not favour students, at the countenance of illness, but paves

way for the “ aphor “. This contradicts with Pavlov’s law of learning, which

constitutes, continual participation, concentration, understanding, and repetition,

prior the candidates have to wait for some time and re-write. Assessments should be

of 65% Cumulative and 35% exams with vigilance and

security in the accumulation.

With the above delineate, being partial in recruitment, as being elucidation

in WASSCE – SSCE, is tantamount to setting a trap to ensnare one’s own self, since

we all constitute the facet to build a nation. Additionally, should you raise a

reasonable point, and Ghanaians not understanding you, is as a result of their

educational background which obliterates nation’s progress.

. There has been preconceived notion in the interpretation of WASSCE results,

which baffles us as youth, as if we are being deprived, to reach the level of our

heads, due to future competition.

The interpretation of as below raises many questions, which follows;

A1 – 1

B2 – 2

B3 – 3 then

C4, C5, C6 – 4 also

D7 - 5

E8 – 6 and some institutions does not recognized it

F9 - fail

Now

1. If C4, C5, C6 are calculated the same, then what was the necessity of their

differentiation?

2. If C4, C5, C6 equals 4, why not B2, B3 equals 2…………..bias!!!

3. If the SSCE was not good and has been abolished, why then should we compare the

WASSCE to it, and not have it own means of acceptance.

4. If we should be justice, SSCE was from A – F thus from 1 – 6 inclusive of F, but

would exceeds 6 if F9 is taken into consideration.

5. Also why E8 attached to F9 being failure.

To make justification to the version of WASSCE, Points should be considered in their

interpretation, and reception into Tertiary institutions, for true impact in our

nation’s development. This also brings about a new step from the SSCE as followed.

A1 - 1

B2 - 1.5 or B+

B3 - 2 or B

C4 - 2.3 or C++

C5 - 2.6 or C+

C6 - 3 or C

D7 - 4 or D

E8 - 5 or E

F9 - 6 or F fail

This will leave the best 6 subjects result, with a whole number, or a decimal, which

must be regarded during the admission requirements. Eg Admission with WASSCE should

be 18.5 (18+) or (18++) for 18.8. The (++) or (+) refers to whether decimal is above

or below 5, thus giving it a newly and true lift, from SSCE.

This will boost up students not to accept inferiority complex, in the strive to

achieve their potentiality, and equal opportunity.

I am consequently appealing the noble Government and the Ministry of education to

look into this, prior to my third paragraph above, to ensure truthiness and

justification in student and the nation at large
