WASSCE 2025: Over 461,000 Candidates Begin Written Exams

 


Accra, Ghana 🇬🇭 – A total of 461,640 candidates began the main written phase of the 2025 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) on August 20, starting with the Oral English paper. The candidates, comprising 207,381 males and 254,259 females, represent a slight increase of 1,029 from the 460,611 who wrote the exams last year.

This year marks the fourth consecutive time Ghana is conducting the 'Ghana Only' WASSCE, a calendar introduced in 2021 in response to academic disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. While other member countries of the West African Examinations Council (WAEC)—Nigeria, Liberia, Sierra Leone, and The Gambia—have since returned to the traditional May/June schedule, Ghana continues to operate on this modified calendar.


Examination Details and Logistics

The 2025 WASSCE officially began with practical and project work on August 4 and is being held in 701 centersnationwide. The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has reportedly deployed adequate resources, including depot keepers and examination materials, to ensure a smooth and secure process. The government has also released funds to cover practical fees for all candidates, aiming to ease the financial burden on parents and guardians.


Call for Integrity and Vigilance

Ahead of the exams, educational authorities, including the Ghana Education Service (GES) and the Ministry of Education, have issued stern warnings against examination malpractice. Officials, supervisors, and invigilators have been cautioned that any complicity in cheating will result in severe sanctions, including dismissal. Candidates have been urged to rely on their own preparation and integrity to achieve success.
