The Ghana Education Service (GES) has officially announced the dates for the 2025 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) for school candidates. This highly anticipated update is crucial for all senior high and technical school students preparing to take the exams this year.
According to the GES, the 2025 WASSCE will commence on Monday, 4th August 2025 and conclude on Friday, 19th September 2025. This seven-week period provides ample time for the completion of all scheduled subjects, including theory, practical, and oral components.
The announcement, communicated through a letter signed by Mr. Prince Charles Agyemang-Duah, Director of Schools and Instructions Division, calls on all Regional Directors of Education to relay this information to schools across the country. Heads of senior high and technical schools are advised to begin intensive preparations to ensure their students are ready for the exams.
While GES has provided the dates for the examination period, the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) will later announce further details, including subject-specific timetables and registration periods. Schools and candidates are encouraged to keep an eye out for this crucial information.
