Ghana will this year rejoin the common West African examination calendar, as candidates prepare to sit for the WASSCE in May/June alongside other countries.
The Director-General of the Ghana Education Service, Professor Ernest Kofi Davis, confirmed the development. He stated that Ghana is returning to the international timetable after several years of running a separate national version.
The shift follows disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, which forced changes to the academic calendar.
While countries like Nigeria, Liberia, Sierra Leone, and The Gambia returned to the May–June schedule in 2021, Ghana continued independently until now.
Professor Davis says preparations for the WASSCE in May/June began last year, and schools have already been directed to get candidates ready.
The exams are expected to begin with practical and project work.
