The theory session of the West African Senior School Certificate Examinations (WASSCE) for second-cycle institutions has commenced smoothly, instilling a sense of optimism among school authorities.
The 2023 West African Senior School Certificate Examinations (WASSCE) for second-cycle institutions kicked off on July 31 and is scheduled to end on September 26.
This session involves over 400,000 candidates from over 900 schools.
However, school headteachers, in an interview with Citi News, expressed some concerns, despite the ongoing process being incident-free up to this point.
“The only issue that is probably of concern to us is the arrival of the papers. We are fortunate to have the depot here, and the depot for some schools is here. We just need to stretch our hands and receive our papers,” a headmaster of one of the schools said.
A headmistress of a different school also said, “We wish that the next batch of students that they will send to us will also be of good quality so that we can also train them. Sometimes, the grades that come here are something we complain about a lot. But for the sake of free SHS, we don’t have much to say. We wish that we will have a successful exam, so that by September 26, we will all go and rest peacefully.”
