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.

In this age, certain adults""still behave like kids. Ignorance and llies being the order of the day. Ghanaians must grow and ignore certain individuals who raise illogical concerns just to be heard. We have a long way ahead with such individuals.
Nti gyimiiii paaaa nie? This kweku boahen is the devil's son
PEOPLE MUST LEARN TO RAISE ISSUES THAT WILL EDUCATE OTHERS BETTER IF THEY THINK THEY HAVE BETTER CONTRARY VIEWS TO WHAT ANOTHER PERSON HAS ALREADY RAISED. THESE ***barred word*** INSULTS GO TO TELL MATURE AND WELL INFORMED GHANAIANS THAT YOU THE ONE HAULING THE INSULTS ON OTHERS IS AS BACKWARD AS THE WORD ITSELF. NO SENSIBLE COMMUNICATION COMES OUT OF INSULTS AND I THINK PEOPLE WHO HAVE FAILED IN THEIR OWN LIVES SPENT THEIR VALUABLE TIME INSULTING OTHERS WHEN THEY NEED TO MAKE SENSIBLE CONTRIBUTIONS THAT WILL ENURE TO THE BENEFIT OF SOCIETY. WHY SHOULD A PARTICULAR PARTY'S FOLLOWERS BE KNOWN TO HAVE NO BETTER TRADE THAN INSULTS? GHANAIANS ARE BECOMING FEDUP WITH THIS BACKWARD ATTITUDE AND PEOPLE MUST LEARN TO CHANGE FROM SUCH BAD HABITS OF INSULTS. GIVE US YOUR IDEAS IF YOU HAVE ANY AND NOT YOUR INSULTS. THEY ARE NOT NECESSARY HERE.
OOH NDC WHY? THIS MAN NEEDS TO GO BACK TO SCHOOL. FUULISSH MAN.
Bubu,this guy has no sense and the more he is given a chance to talk on air ,the more he talk ***barred word***
Iron Man I agree with you. I remember volumes of lies he spilled about Nana Akufo Addo at various radio stations in Ghana before the 2016 elections. ALL WERE FIASCO. I believe he has started shouting again in order to be recognised and to keep his position in the party.
Aaaaaaba, this hollow headed man is still using the old propaganda tactics. Unfortunately, ONLY Mahama and some NDC guys were convinced your noise and lies would harvest some votes for NDC. It didnt. Some body tell this noisy man that these lies do not win votes. He should learn new ways before he becomes a total liability to NDC.
M)m)ni
Wos3 mbaa paa :)
Ohhh So this man and his NDC will not seize to amazed me . So is the NPP now mark BECE exams. Ok then am urging the NDC to resgister their so called proproganda school with WAEC ,so that they can fail them for incompetant exam. Instead of you to focus on your hidden report, settle the infighting you rather have the effort to talk about baseless alligations. Masa come again.People should expect more infighting in coming days.
