My dear pupils, especially our hardworking senior secondary pupils, I am speaking to you today about your future.
I know that preparing for the WASSCE exams is a major step, and you are hearing about changes to the curriculum.
I want to explain this to you directly so you feel confident and prepared.
The good news is this:
For your 2026 WASSCE, we have made a plan to ensure a smooth and fair transition for you.
We are introducing a new curriculum to enhance your education, but we will not let any pupil be at a disadvantage.
Here is what you need to know:
· You Have Options:
In the 2026 and 2027 exams, you will have a choice. There will be 20 subjects from the new curriculum and 17 subjects from the old one. Your school will guide you on which path is best for you.
· No Sudden Changes:
You won't be forced to learn everything in a new way all at once. This two-year plan gives you and your teachers time to adjust.
· Your Core Subjects are Secure:
No matter what, Mathematics and English Language will remain compulsory for everyone. The foundation of your education is solid.
This decision was made after we met with your teachers, principals, and exam experts. We listened to their concerns, and our number one priority is to ensure that you can focus on your studies and succeed.
So, concentrate on your learning. Your dedication, combined with this careful plan, will lead you to success. We believe in you and are building an education system that deserves your hard work.
