These are some of the Gangantuan crimes...

You can all agree with me that, 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, all embraced in

systematic approach to the tertiary level.

Deprivations or diversions 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; with lower

grades, sometimes, 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. 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 also contradicts with Pavlov’s

law of learning, which constitutes, continual

participation, concentration, understanding,

and repetition, since 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 outline, being partial

in recruitment, as being with the WASSCE –

SSCE, is equivalent to setting a trap to

ensnare one’s own self,because should you raise a reasonable point, and

Ghanaians not understanding you, might be as a result of their trivial

educational background, which

obliterates nation’s unity and acceptance since we all constitute

the facet to build this nation.

There has been preconceived notion in

our WASSCE interpretations, which

baffles us as youth, as if we are being

deprived, to reach the level of our heads, due

to future competition.

The interpretation, as below, raises many

questions, which follow;

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 differentiating them?

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

interpretations and 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.

Some go to the extent of interpreting it as

A1-1,B2-2,B3-3,.....,F9-9 and accept aggregate 36, cruel!!!!!!!.

if for SSCE the last performance,F thus 6 multiplied by 6 minus 12 being (24)

was accepted by tertiary institutions, why not

why for WASSCE the last performance, F9, thus 9 multiplied by 6 minus 12 being (42)

is not accepted as the required aggregate for that interpretation?.

To make justification to WASSCE version, points

should be considered in their interpretation,

and acceptance into Tertiary institutions, for

true impact of education in our national

development.

It 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.

E.g. Admission with WASSCE should be 35.5 (35+)

or (35++) for 35.8. The (++) or (+) refers to

whether decimal is above or below 5, thus

giving it a newly and true lift, from SSCE.

This will also boost up students, not to accept

inferiority complex, in the strive to achieve

their potentialities, and with equal

opportunities.

I am consequently appealing to the

Government and the Ministry of education, to

look into this, to ensure truthiness and justification in education

and to our nation at large.
