The Ghana Education Service (GES) has announced the release of funds for the payment of the 2025 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) practicals.
This crucial development means that all Senior High Schools (SHS) and Senior High Technical Schools (SHTS) across the country will now have the necessary resources to cover the fees for the practical examinations. The payment is designed to fully support all practical examinations scheduled for the 2025 WASSCE, ensuring the provision of required materials and other essential resources, thereby alleviating a significant financial burden on parents and guardians.
According to a press release from the GES Public Relations Unit, dated July 26, 2025, the primary objective behind this timely release of funds is to facilitate a smooth and well-coordinated examination process. By covering the costs of practicals, the GES aims to enable students to focus entirely on their academic work, free from the anxieties associated with financial constraints. This strategic move by the GES underscores its commitment to creating an enabling environment for all students to succeed in their examinations.
In light of this development, the GES is strongly urging all regional, district, and school authorities to ensure the due application of these funds for their intended purpose, emphasizing the need for transparency, efficiency, and accountability. Management will continue to monitor the utilization processes to ensure compliance and maintain high standards in the administration of the examination. The GES also took the opportunity to appreciate the cooperation of all stakeholders in advancing quality education, reaffirming its dedication to the success of every student.
