The Ghana Education Service (GES) has announced the release of funds to all Senior High Schools (SHSs) and Senior High Technical Schools (SHTSs) nationwide to fully finance the 2025 WASSCE practical examinations.
In a statement dated Saturday, July 27, and signed by the Head of Public Relations, Daniel Fenyi, the GES reiterated the government’s commitment to supporting students and easing the financial pressure on parents and guardians.
According to the statement, the funds are to provide essential materials and logistics for the smooth conduct of the practical components of the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE), including science, technical, and vocational practicals scheduled to begin in the coming weeks.
“The release of the funds is to ensure a smooth and well-coordinated examination process that enables students to focus on their academic work while relieving parents and guardians of any such financial burden,” the statement noted.
The GES urged heads of schools, district directors, and regional education authorities to ensure that the funds are used strictly for their intended purpose. It further indicated that monitoring mechanisms have been put in place to track disbursement and utilisation to ensure transparency and accountability.
This move has been widely welcomed by educational stakeholders as a proactive step toward promoting equity and academic excellence ahead of the 2025 WASSCE.
