Ferdinand | EducationGhana | December 02 | Ahantaman Girls SHS Headmistress Exposes BECE Malpractice Case Involving Admitted Student

The headmistress of Ahantaman Girls SHS has disclosed a troubling case of BECE malpractice after a new student admitted with an aggregate of 14 could not write her own name. She warns that the incident signals bigger risks ahead of the 2025 WASSCE.

Headmistress Raises Alarm Over Malpractice During Admission

The headmistress of Ahantaman Girls Senior High School, Ernestina Kankam, has drawn attention to a serious case of examination fraud uncovered during the school’s admission process. She explained that a newly admitted student, who had secured an aggregate 14 in the Basic Education Certificate Examination, struggled to write her own name when asked to complete her registration.Mrs Kankam noted that the situation raised immediate concerns among staff, prompting further inquiry.

Student Confesses Teacher Wrote BECE on Her Behalf

According to the headmistress, the student later admitted that a teacher had written the examination for her. The confession confirmed the school’s suspicion that the BECE score did not reflect the student’s true academic ability.Mrs Kankam described the incident as both worrying and revealing, stressing that it points to quiet but widespread practices that affect the integrity of national examinations.

Warning for the 2025 WASSCE

Speaking on academic performance trends, she explained that such malpractice contributes to the weak foundation many students bring into senior high school. She cautioned that the consequences often appear during the West African Senior School Certificate Examination, where students who passed the BECE through dishonest means struggle to meet expected standards.She urged all stakeholders to address the root causes of examination misconduct and to protect the credibility of national assessments ahead of the 2025 WASSCE.
