The Ghana Education Service (GES) has released funds to all Senior High Schools (SHSs) and Senior High Technical Schools (SHTSs) across the country to fully cover the cost of the 2025 WASSCE practical examinations.
The announcement was made in a statement issued on Saturday, July 27, and signed by the Head of Public Relations at GES, Daniel Fenyi. It reflects the government’s ongoing commitment to supporting students and easing the financial burden on parents and guardians during the examination period.
According to the statement, the funds are designated for the procurement of all necessary materials and logistics needed for the smooth conduct of the practical aspects of the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).
