SHS Placement, Basic Education Crisis & Exam Malpractice: The Big Education Debate | Point of View

#EducationGhana #BECE2026 #SHSPlacement #WASSCE #ExamMalpractice #KofiAsare #AngelCarbonu #HashminMohammed #ChannelOneNews What is really driving the challenges facing Ghana’s education system? On The Point of View with Bernard Avle, Africa Education Watch Executive Director Kofi Asare, former NAGRAT President Angel Carbonu and Ministry of Education Spokesperson Hashmin Mohammed examine some of the biggest issues confronting education in Ghana. The discussion looks at the government’s decision to provide a pathway into Senior High School for BECE candidates who fell short of the required pass mark, including the option of self-placement or rewriting the examination. Kofi Asare and Angel Carbonu also examine the deeper problem of weak foundations in English and Mathematics at the basic-school level. They argue that learning gaps developed in primary and junior high school can be difficult to correct once students reach Senior High School, calling for greater attention to basic education. The panel further discusses the rising number of cancelled and withheld WAEC results amid concerns over examination malpractice. Kofi Asare raises questions about WAEC’s investigative capacity, supervision at examination centres and the potential impact of delayed results on tertiary admissions, while Angel Carbonu examines how malpractice detected through answer-similarity software should be interpreted. Hashmin Mohammed also addresses concerns about SHS placement, available school capacity, boarding limitations, private-school participation and the government’s plans to expand opportunities for students. From basic education and learning outcomes to BECE placement and examination malpractice, the discussion takes a broader look at what needs to change to improve Ghana’s education system.
