The Ghana Education Service (GES) has announced the disbursement of funds to all Senior High Schools (SHSs) and Senior High Technical Schools (SHTSs) nationwide, aimed at covering practical examination expenses for the 2025 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).
A statement issued by the GES stated that the funds will be used to provide essential materials and resources required for the smooth conduct of the practical sessions, which form a critical component of the final examination.
“This payment ensures that all practical examinations scheduled for the 2025 WASSCE are fully supported,” said Daniel Fenyi, Head of Public Relations at GES.
“It includes the provision of required materials and other essential resources necessary for successful implementation.”
It added that the release of the funds is to help ease the financial burden on parents and guardians while allowing students to focus entirely on their academic preparation.
“With this intervention, GES hopes to facilitate a smooth and well-coordinated examination process.”
“Our goal is to enable students to concentrate on their studies without being distracted by financial concerns related to practical exams.”
GES instructed regional, district, and school authorities to ensure that the funds are used appropriately and strictly for their intended purpose.
“We strongly urge all stakeholders involved to ensure the judicious use of these funds,” Mr. Fenyi said. “Management will continue to monitor the utilisation process closely to ensure transparency, accountability, and adherence to high standards in the examination’s administration.”
“The Ghana Education Service values the cooperation of all partners in our collective effort to deliver quality education. We remain committed to creating an enabling environment that supports the success of every student in the country,” he added.
