The Management of the
Ghana Education Service (GES) has observed that some Heads of Senior High
Schools and Technical Schools are engaging in the unauthorised registration of
Form Two students and/or private candidates for the West African Senior School
Certificate Examination (WASSCE), often in exchange for fees.
Management wishes to
state unequivocally that a Head of School is authorised to register only Form
Three students, whose academic records and progression from year 1 to year 3
are traceable in the school’s database. The registration of Form Two students
or private candidates by any school official is strictly prohibited.
Any Head or school official
found to be involved in such unauthorised registrations, including the charging
of monies for this purpose, is engaging in misconduct and abuse of office.
All Heads and schoolofficials are hereby cautioned that the breach of this directive will attract
severe sanctions in accordance with GES and WAEC regulations, without
exception.
