BECE Grading Guide: How to Convert Mock Raw Scores to WAEC Grades Instantly.

  Chief Examiners’ report reveals many candidates failed to answer application-based questions. The Chief Examiners’ report on the 2025 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) has revealed that a significant number of candidates struggled to answer application-based questions, which largely contributed to the low performance recorded in the exams.  The report highlights that while many learners were familiar with key concepts, they were unable to apply them effectively in practical scenarios during the examinations. Figures released by the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) indicate that results in all four core subjects—English Language, Mathematics, Integrated Science, and Social Studies—were the lowest in the past four years.

Education Ministry denies reports of 13th-month salary proposal for teachers. The Ministry of Education has issued a decisive response to a misleading report circulating on the Opera News platform that falsely suggested the Hon. Minister for Education, Haruna Iddrisu, advocated for the introduction of a 13th‑month salary for teachers at a policy forum in Accra.  The Ministry has unequivocally rejected these claims, describing the publication as a deliberate falsehood and misinformation intended to mislead the public. In an official press statement signed by the Press Secretary to the Minister, Mr. Hashmin Mohammed, the Ministry clarified that at no point did the Minister make such remarks during any public engagement, official interaction, or policy event.  The insinuation that the government has proposed or is considering a 13th‑month salary for teachers is baseless and unfounded.
