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 cover the cost of the 2025 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) practicals.
In a statement issued and signed by its Head of Public Relations, Daniel Fenyi, the GES emphasized the government’s ongoing commitment to reducing the financial burden on parents and guardians while providing the necessary support for candidates to succeed.
According to the statement, the disbursed funds will be used to procure essential materials and logistics required for science, technical, and vocational practical exams, which are scheduled to commence in the coming weeks.
“The release of these funds is aimed at ensuring a smooth and well-coordinated examination process, enabling students to concentrate fully on their academic work without the added stress of financial constraints,” the statement read.
GES also directed all regional, district, and school authorities to ensure that the funds are used strictly for their intended purpose. It added that the Service will closely monitor both disbursement and usage to guarantee transparency and prevent any misuse of the resources.
