This is serious for the Volta region and Ghana as a whole. The danger is if your ward chose a Volta region SHS/T, tthere is 25% chance or 0.25 probability of failing the WASSCE. The general posture by most citizenry is education is a waste of time, not all of us can go to school. You can go and learn work, such attitudes ends them at the galamsey pits.

But I suggest the gov't and GES introduce an intervention class in shs who admit learners who couldn't make it at the BECE. If you get say from aggregate 31 in the BECE and above you must first attend 1 year intervention class b4 joining the mainstream for 3 years. It can even start from 25

Very worrying report! But what do the percentages mean? Do they, for example, mean that no student passed any subject in the eighteen (18) schools that scored 0%?

I think it means the students who completed from those 18 schools can't go for further studies with their grades

This cannot be true in Ghana where we have poly, vocational and technical training institutions for those who do not make it the the next "logical" stage. The 0% should be explained further

It's about time we reviewed this system void of partisan politics to make it worthwhile or else we risk recording even worse results in the coming days

Please ask certain questions
1. Is this situation peculiar to the Volta region or other regions had similar results?
2.Does it reflect in other schools in the country?
3 Assuming each school presented 100 students for the wassce, is the report saying that all the 1,800 students failed in all subjects?
4.Can we investigate this issue?
5. Can we check the quality of the tutors in those schools?
There may be something more than just the figures.

Good points. What is the meaning of "recorded zero percent". Blanket statements don't help in policy making.

THIS IS VERY VERY BAD FOR GHANA AS WHOLE .

PEOPLE IN GHANA SHOULD STOP THEIR TRIBALISM , STOP THEIR CLASS SOCIETY FOR SECONDARY SCHOOLS. OTHERS ONLY THINKING ABOUT THEIR REGION ONLY.

FIRST PUBLIC SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN GHANA SHOULD BE FREE FOR ALL, AND THE STAFF WITH EQUALLY GOOD TEACHERS.

WHAT IS HAPPENING IN GHANA SHOULD STOP, AND PUBLIC SECONDARY SCHOOLING BE GOOD AND FREE FOR ALL IN GHANA . NOT ONLY FOR SPECIAL SCHOOLS.

I WENT TO SECONDARY SCHOOL IN ACCRA. WE PAID TUITION AT THOSE DAYS.
BUT I BELIEVE SECONDARY SCHOOLING SHOULD BE FREE FOR ALL , IF GHANA CAN COMPETE IN THIS CENTURY.

RIGHT NOW , I LIVE OUTSIDE GHANA ;

I WAS BORN IN ACCRA ; AND PAID SECONDARY SCHOOL FEES IN THE 1960s .

BUT I KNOW THAT THE WAY PUBLIC SECONDARY SCHOOLING IS RAN IN GHANA CANNOT HELP GHANA ACHIEVE MUCH.

SO GOD HELP MY BELOVED GHANA.

PLEASE ALL PUBLIC SCHOOLING UP TO THE SECONDARY LEVEL SHOULD BE FREE FOR ALL REGARDLESS WHAT REGION OR WHAT TRIBE YOU COME FROM.

PUT THE COUNTRY'S MONEY INTO PUBLIC EDUCATION FOR ALL !!!!!

Schools in other regions, especially, Greater Accra, Ashanti, Eastern, Western, Bono, Ahafo and Central Regions, do well not because they are better or work hard than those from the Volta, Oti and similar Regions. They do well because students, parents and teachers always engage in examination malpractices including examination paper leakages and cheating during examinations so everyone including the dumbs are all passing the WAEC exams. In the Volta Region, the few who pass do so by their own efforts. No one dare cheat or buy WAEC exam papers to perform better. One sees a Voltarian doing well, know that is true hard work.

This is the main reason the wholesale BECE placement into FSHS must be relook at. It is better to admit those who pass and gov't sponsoring the others to go into other things for a living than to waste state money on them only to record zero. Money wasted, and they can't progress too.
Few also go to SHS to transform their failure into success though but they are very few.

The poor performance at the WAEC level in the country in general and in the Volta Region in particular calls for a sober reflection. What are the reasons for so a poor performance in a season like this? One of the main reasons is the way and manner in which the Free SHS was introduced and administered. Students were admitted whole sale, and prevented from repeating even when their academic work was bad. Secondly too many students were admitted into schools with limited teaching and learning facilities. Perhaps the most devastating reason was the withdrawal of Ghana by the Nana Addo Danquah Akufo-Addo government from the West African Examinations Council Examination for free SHS students in order to manipulate results in support of the free SHS. Now that the country has returned to the WAEC Examination, the true strength of our students among their West African peers has started showing. The GES has so much work to do. When seasoned educationists complained about the consequences of starting the free SHS without adequate preparation and withdrawal from WAEC, the NPP government trivialised it as politically motivated. Now the consequences of the ill-conceived and hurriedly implemented free SHS have caught up with us.
