Deputy Minister for Education Clement Apaak has congratulated Ghana’s top-performing candidates in the West African Senior School Certificate Examination, urging them to maintain discipline and integrity as they pursue their academic ambitions.

Speaking at the WAEC Distinction Awards ceremony held at Cantonments on March 12, Dr. Apaak said the awardees distinguished themselves through hard work, commitment and perseverance.

According to him, the students’ achievements demonstrate that excellence can be attained when talent is combined with dedication and discipline.

Dr. Apaak congratulated the award winners and acknowledged the important role played by teachers, parents and mentors in supporting their success.

He also described the students as role models for their peers across the country and encouraged them to remain focused as they pursue higher education and future careers.

However, the Deputy Minister expressed concern about incidents of examination malpractice, including impersonation, collusion and the operation of so-called “miracle centres,” warning that such practices undermine the credibility of the education system.

Dr. Apaak assured that the Ministry of Education Ghana will continue to work closely with the West African Examinations Council to safeguard the integrity of national examinations while strengthening the quality and accessibility of education in the country.
