The Ghana Education Service (GES) has established four dedicated security posts in conflict-prone areas to protect students writing the 2025 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).
The security outposts have been set up in Bawku, Savelugu, Nalerigu, and Nkwanta—areas that have experienced recent unrest.
GES Director, Professor Ernest Kofi Davis, made the announcement during a press briefing, emphasizing the agency’s commitment to safeguarding the lives of students during the examination period.
As part of the safety strategy, candidates residing in these volatile areas will be accommodated within school premises under strict security watch throughout the examination period.
“We are getting the presence in the schools,” he said, assuring parents that students will have a secure environment free from external threats. At the end of the exams, students will be escorted back home under police supervision.
This development comes in the wake of ongoing efforts by the Ministry of Education to prioritize the well-being of students in underserved and vulnerable areas.
It also aligns with national efforts to ensure that insecurity does not disrupt educational outcomes. The GES has partnered with law enforcement agencies to maintain peace and safety at all exam centers, reinforcing its resolve to provide a stable academic environment for all candidates.
