Deputy Communications Director for the opposition National Democratic Congress [NDC], Kweku Boahen has accused President Akufo-Addo and his government of being the cause of the huge percentage of failed students in the just ended Basic Education Certificate Examinations [BECE] results.
He said, “The propagandist promise made by the New Patriotic Party [NPP] during the 2016 elections that led them into power has today become the grounds of preventing qualified persons under the conducts of our law from entering Senior High School [SHS].
"I know for a fact that the NPP in collaboration with Ghana Education Service (GES) has deliberately failed 50% of the just ended BECE students due to their laid down systems which cannot permit them to offer free education service to that number of persons as assured earlier; therefore the score down of pass mark from aggregate 42 to 30 which to me is not fair in our part of the world.”
"So, Is the GES under president Nana Addo Danquah Akufo-Addo and his government telling us that students who pass beyond aggregate 30 would not be permitted to enhance their education to the SHS level when students of the same grade were permitted per the laws of the state to continue to the SHS level last year?" He asked Kasapa FM’s ‘Anopa Kasapa’ host.
He however believed "Ghanaians have already decided to change the baton straight to the National Democratic Congress [NDC] come 2020".
"We left a relatively stable economy, which the NPP who claim they are a party of economists have made inferior just because they are dealing more with the Chinese government".
The West Africa Examination Council (WAEC) has meanwhile, refuted reports that it has released the 2017 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE).
It said its systems had been hacked and fake results had been posted to their servers and that the cyber security team was currently working on the problem.
BECE Results Not Released
About a week ago the West Africa Examination Council (WAEC) refuted rumours that it has released the 2017 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE).
A statement signed by Mrs Agnes Teye-Cudjoe, the Head of Public Affairs of WAEC, and copied to the Ghana News Agency, said for this reason, the results would be delayed up to September 30 or later.
It said the Council wanted to inform members of the public, especially candidates, to beware of imposters who promised to change examination results for a fee.

This ***barred word*** needs to go back to class one to learn sense
Eish!......f0001i*shness paa be this? For this 1diot to qualify as a communication director in the NDC tells you that the party itself is full of morons. This Boahen guy can't even speak English, yet he claims he's a teacher. NDC is a use*less party, harboring criminals as members.
Now i believe you will be in opposition for 20 years cos by then other sensib1e human beings would have grown to take up your positions. Such empty and degrading weightless speeches without substance and evidence should not be given by a communicator of an opposition party. It only confirms that you are empty and that is very pathetic.
npp when atall will u people get wisdom??????
I am also reliably informed that Okudjato and NDC reduced the pass mark of BECE to 15% percent in 2019 in order to get the 90% pass they were blagging with. So who is destroying our education? NDC has consistently and deliberately destroying Ghana education. They build structure to deceive people for vote but their policies are to destroy. Because you were manipulating WAEC for good just to blag with you think everyone will do. My friend leave the system to run normal because those of us in the universities are suffering to teach the weak students you faked to pass.
NDC with such I.D.I.O.T.S. think they can come back to power anytime soon. You the media platform and you start speaking R.U.B.B.I.S.H and turn to blame the media for your troubles.
