The Ghana Education Service has dismissed claims by former Education Minister Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum that poor management practices led to the performance of students in the 2025 WASSCE.
In a statement, the Service stressed that it has not cancelled any teacher allowances, contrary to what the former Minister suggested in recent media interviews.
It pointed out that the Controller and Accountant General’s Department has already explained why November allowances were delayed, and that the issue has nothing to do with its management practices.
GES urged the public to disregard Dr Adutwum’s comments, describing them as an attempt to shift attention from what it called his own shortcomings in managing the examination process before leaving office.
The Service stated that this year’s results reflect the real academic performance of candidates.
According to the statement, strict measures were put in place before and during the exams to prevent malpractice.
It noted that officials had issued a clear warning that any teacher or staff member caught aiding exam malpractice would be sanctioned, and this was fully enforced.
GES added that the 2025 WASSCE was conducted under tight supervision and stronger invigilation, which led to the arrest of some students and staff who attempted to cheat.
It said this is part of ongoing efforts to restore integrity to the examination system.
The Service explained that the outcome of the exams shows the impact of these reforms and insisted that protecting the credibility of the WASSCE is in the best interest of students and the country.
GES reminded students that Ghana will return to the international WASSCE in May/June 2026 after moving away from the Ghana-only version introduced under the previous administration.
It encouraged candidates to prepare well.
The statement, signed by its Head of Public Relations, Daniel Fenyí, assured the public that the Service will continue to work with teachers, school heads, parents, communities, civil society organisations and WAEC to strengthen teaching, learning and the integrity of examinations.

About 120 golfers from clubs across Ghana participated in an 18-hole competition, dubbed ‘MTN 30th Anniversary CEO Invitational Golf Tournament’ held at the Achimota Golf Club on Saturday.
At the end of the hectic day, Frederick Semenu Duvor won the Men’s Group A event with 39 points, while Julienne Afi claimed the Ladies’ Group A title with the same score.
Yaw Mireku Jnr. won the Men’s Group B with an impressive 45 points, while Kous Louanges Mang took the Ladies’ Group B title with 38 points.
Kofi Mangesi won Men’s Group C with 40 points while Elorm R. Akuash Bonney claimed the Ladies’ version with 42 points.
In the Seniors Division, Jan Vogel emerged winner of the men’s category with 39 gross, while Helen Appah topped the ladies’ category with 44 gross.
Addressing participants, the company’s Board Chairman, Mr Ishmael Yamson, urged the company to approach its next phase with the same resilience, discipline and determination that have defined its success over the past three decades.
He drew a striking parallel between the game of golf and MTN Ghana’s three-decade journey, describing both as long games in which success depends less on one spectacular moment than on consistency, patience, judgment and the ability to recover from setbacks.
He said, golf had taught him a lesson that extended far beyond the fairways, thus, a round cannot be won on the first hole.
In golfing terms, he said, MTN Ghana had encountered its share of regulatory bunkers, competitive hazards and unexpected storms that had forced the company to pause, reassess and change its approach.
But those challenges, he suggested, were part of the journey rather than reasons to abandon it.
