The Director-General of the Ghana Education Service (GES), Prof. Kofi Davis, accompanied by his deputies, Prof. Smile Dzisi and Dr. Issahaque Munawaru, has embarked on a nationwide monitoring exercise as part of efforts to ensure the smooth conduct of the 2025 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).
The high-level delegation has been paying unannounced visits to schools and examination centres across the country. Their mission is to gather first-hand information, monitor activities, observe examination processes, and provide the necessary support to teachers, invigilators, and supervisors.
According to the GES leadership, these tours form part of their oversight responsibilities aimed at guaranteeing that the examinations are administered in an atmosphere of integrity, fairness, and transparency.
At every centre visited, the Director-General and his deputies emphasize the need for teachers, invigilators, and supervisors to uphold the highest standards of professionalism. They continue to remind stakeholders of their collective duty to protect the credibility of the examination process and safeguard the future of Ghanaian students.
Prof. Davis reiterated that the Service remains resolute in its commitment to sanitise the system and clamp down on examination malpractice. He assured the public that all necessary measures are being taken to preserve the sanctity of the WASSCE and guarantee a level playing field for all candidates.
The GES further appealed to parents, guardians, teachers, and the wider public to actively support this effort, stressing that safeguarding the integrity of Ghana’s educational system requires a united front.
“Together, we can preserve the integrity of our educational system and secure a brighter future for our nation,” the GES leadership affirmed.
