The Ghana Education Service (GES) has expressed concern over the declining academic performance of schools in the Volta Region, particularly in the 2025 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE). In a three-day educational clinic, the directorate aims to identify factors contributing to the poor performance and find practical solutions.
The Director-General of GES, Professor Ernest Kofi Davis, called for greater collaboration among educational institutions, emphasizing that resetting education outcomes should be a collective responsibility. Out of 68 Senior High Schools (SHSs) and Senior High Technical Schools (SHTSs) in the region, 18 recorded zero per cent in the 2025 WASSCE, while nine recorded one per cent and 27 recorded less than 12 per cent progression.
The Acting Volta Regional Director of Education, Mrs Marian Jemima Adzroe, highlighted systemic challenges in core subjects, especially Mathematics and Integrated Science, and urged stakeholders to address the issue to secure a better future for the region's young people.
