On Thursday, June 13, 2024, the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) held the WAEC Distinction Awards in Accra, celebrating the outstanding achievements of school candidates who sat for the West Africa Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) in 2023.
The Ghana Education Service (GES) extended its heartfelt congratulations to Master Amo-Kodieh Leonard Kofi Marton from St. James Seminary Senior High School. Leonard emerged as the top candidate not only in Ghana but also across all five WAEC member countries, outshining 2,327,342 candidates who took the WASSCE in 2023.
GES also recognized the impressive accomplishments of Master Dzandu Selorm from Labone Senior High School, who secured the position of first runner-up, and Master Daniel Asenso-Gyambibi from St. James Seminary, who was named second runner-up.
In addition to the overall awards, several students were honored as programme award winners in their respective fields:
- General Arts: Laudina Adutwumwaa from St Monica’s Senior High School
- Business: Kwasi Asare Adjei-Fordjour from St Augustine’s College, Cape Coast
- Technical: Akosua Adjei Boateng from Juaso Senior High Technical School, Juaso-Ashanti
Earlier this year, in March, Leonard, Selorm, and Daniel made Ghana proud by securing the top three positions at the WAEC International Excellence Awards. These awards recognized the best three students among the 2,327,342 candidates from the five member countries who sat for the WASSCE in 2023. The awards ceremony took place during the 72nd Annual WAEC Council Meeting in Freetown, Sierra Leone.
The GES applauded the award-winning students and their respective schools for their exceptional performance. Special recognition was given to the hardworking teachers and non-teaching staff for their dedication to training and nurturing these students. Ayekoo!
