The Nigeria Union of Teachers (NUT) and some parents have expressed worry about the excellent performance of Ghanaian students as compared to their Nigerian counterparts in the 2020 West African Senior Secondary Certificate Examination (WASSCE).
Describing the development as a ‘big shame’, the Union asked for the 2020 WASSCE’s result to be a wake-up call to resuscitate the Nigeria education system.
In March 2021, Ghana swept all the top three International Excellence awards instituted by the West African Examinations Council (WAEC), seeking to honour candidates with outstanding performance in WASSCE.
The trio, Cecil Tetteh Kumah, Godfred Aseda Obeng and Afua Manukure Ansah, took first, second, and third positions, respectively, and were awarded at the 69th annual council meeting of the organisation in Accra.
