2025 WASSCE

Rev. Dr Desmond Boakye-Yiadom, a theologian and educationist, has boldly alleged that the 2025 WASSCE results were manipulated by Ghanaian leaders.

According to the Educationist, the 2025 WASSCE candidates performed well, but the results were massaged before they were released.

He alleged that WAEC had planned to release the 2025 WASSCE results on the 15th of November, but Ghanaian leaders sat down and manipulated the results before releasing them on a Saturday evening, which has never happened before.

Speaking on Atinka TV, Rev. Dr Desmond Boakye-Yiadom, a theologian and educationist, stated, “We don’t accept these results. These exams, the kids performed well, but our leaders sat down and massaged the results before releasing them”.

They wanted to release the result on the 15th of November, but what happened? Since when have you seen WASSCE results being released on a Saturday night? Why didn’t they release it on the 15?”

“I challenge GES and the management of WAEC, the wickedness is too much”, he added.  

Also, a New Patriotic Party (NPP) Communications team member, Benjamin Gyewu-Appiah, commonly known as Benghazi, has levelled shocking allegations against Ato Forson and Haruna Iddrisu.

According to Benghazi, the Finance Minister, Dr Ato Forson, and the Minister of Education, Hon. Haruna Iddrisu, deliberately failed WASSCE students.

The NPP’s communication team member boldly alleged that the two failed the 2025 WASSCE candidates due to the ruling government’s No Fees Stress Policy for first-year University students.

Benghazi is quoted by EDHUB, a social media news page, to have said, “Finance Minister Dr Ato Forson and Minister of Education, Hon. Haruna Iddrisu, deliberately failed WASSCE students because of the No Fees Stress Policy.”

Their comments follow the 2025 WASSCE result being released by WAEC, which revealed 220,008 out of 461,736 failed Core Mathematics, marking the worst performance in the subject in seven years.

Also, “only 48.73% of candidates attained grades A1 to C6 in 2025. This represents a massive collapse from the 66.86% achieved in 2024. A total of 209,068 candidates passed with A1-C6, but 114,872 candidates (26.77%) failed the subject outright with an F9 grade.

Additionally, 131,097 students (30.27%) failed English Language, 161,606 students (39.87%) failed Integrated Science, and 196727 students (44%) failed Social Studies.

A total of 1,021 schools registered candidates for the examination, representing a slight 0.24% increase over 2024, while 5,821 candidates (1.26%) were absent”.

However, the Ghana Education Service (GES) has said the 2025 WASSCE results accurately reflect student performance.

Part of the GES statement stated, “GES urges the public to disregard the statements made by the former Minister, Dr Adutwum, regarding the 2025 WASSCE results and treat them as an attempt to shift focus from his shortcomings in managing the examination process.

Management of GES views the 2025 WASSCE results as a true reflection of the academic performance of the candidates. The outcome is a credible representation of students’ abilities”.
