Akufo-Addo Sends Best Wishes To WASSCE Candidates

President Nana Akufo-Addo has sent his best wishes to students who are expected to write this year’s West African Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).

The examination is expected to commence Monday, July 20, 2020.

In a statement, the President urged everyone to follow the COVID-19 protocols and that face masks “continue to remain our weapons in the fight to defeat COVID-19.”

“We, therefore, must do everything possible, even in the midst of a pandemic, to guarantee the prospects of our youth, protect their potential, and, thereby, help preserve our collective future,” he said.

In all, about 313,837 final year Senior High School students will be taking part in the exams.

The Ghana Education Service (GES) has assured parents and guardians of final-year Senior High School (SHS) students in the country that it will do everything humanly possible to protect their children against COVID-19.
