In an interview with the Ghana News Agency on Wednesday, Mr. Kwasi Kwarteng, the Ministry of Education’s spokesperson, reassured the public that the WASSCE and BECE for 2022 would proceed according to plan.
The Public Relations Officer for WAEC, Madam Agnes Cudjoe, told the Council, “Yes, it is true, the money has been released.”
The WASSCE for this year is anticipated to begin on August 1 and go through September 27.
