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.

I think this dragon boy kwaku boahen is the right person koku anyidohu should hv use the words he used to describe mr. smith on. This person have never spoken anything sensible in his life. I learnt he was or is a teacher. I wonder the kind of stuffs he would be teaching his students. He is an ingrate, one who never speaks sense and would never speak sense because, there is nothing sensible in his big coconut head
akoa yi agyimi paaaa! You can't find such an illiterate communicator in NPP.
Eiii, what is going on in our dear party? Where did he get his figures from? If care is not taken NDC will be in opposition for many years. This style of communication will not help us.
At times wonder if some politicians stays amongst the elderly to be give wisdom.Somebody he claims to his masters business management,then it means this are some of the lectures who are going to impact knowledge into ndc supporters head.The person did not take his studies seriously.
Ignorance, they are still incompetent even in opposition
KOOBI.....MOMONE....***barred word***!!!
Aaaaah ! Kwaku Boahene wo y3 ab.oa piii. You are disgracing your party National Demoncratic Congress (NDC. Create, loot and share people
Everybody in Ghana now knows that this man is a big ffffooooooooolllll. He has never been sssseeeensible before listening to him. Since when did government interfere with the work of WAEC. May be you were doing this in your time in office.In your time it was a known fact that people were so corrupt that even grades were changed for a fee. They lied in government and are lying in opposition. Can somebody help me tell this man that Ghanaians are wiser than him.
This man speaks for the NDC? I will be ashamed to belong to this party.
