Every year, when WASSCE results are released, Ghana erupts into the same familiar debates: Did the national pass rate go up or down? 

The Minister of Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations, Samuel Nartey George, has stated that the nation must build an artificial intelligence (AI) ecosystem that advances human dignity, protects vulnerable groups and promotes equity as the country accelerates its digital transformation. 

Telecommunications giant, MTN, has graduated 80 Africans from its Global Graduate Development Programme (GGDP) to drive the continent's digital future. 

The commentary on the 2025 WASSCE results reflects a profound misunderstanding of how achievement systems function and a misreading of the West African Examinations Council’s (WAEC’s) own administrative data. 

Nigeria's defence minister Mohammed Badaru Abubakar has resigned, the presidency said on Monday, with immediate effect.

The recent controversy at Wesley Girls High School over the practice of Islam by Muslim students has ignited an emotional national debate.

Yet, beneath all the heat lies a plain, almost stubbornly simple truth—the rules of Wesley Girls have never been hidden.

They are clearly written, openly stated, and willingly accepted before any student steps foot on campus. 

The school’s prospectus spells out its identity without equivocation: Wesley Girls is a Methodist institution built firmly on Wesleyan values, practices, and traditions.

The Minister of Health, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh has appealed to mining companies to take over, complete and equip the Agenda 111 hospital projects in their operational areas.

He said the mining companies should work with the government to operate the facilities.

Speaking at a press briefing in Accra on Monday [Dec 1, 2025], Mr Akandoh said the strategy was to ensure that many of the stalled hospital projects were completed.

"Wherever we have Agenda 111 hospitals that are uncompleted, and there is a mining company there, we are encouraging them to take over, complete it, equip it, and partner with the government to run it," he said.

The High Court in Kumasi last week declared that both Akosua Serwaa Fosuh and Priscilla Ofori [Odo Broni] were duly married to the late Ghanaian musician, Charles Kwadwo Fosuh, popularly known as Daddy Lumba.

The court, presided over by Justice Dorinda Smith Arthur, consequently, dismissed the claim of Akosua Serwaa in a suit which prayed the court to declare her as the sole wife of the late entertainer and to be the one to be allowed to perform the widowhood rites.

It was the view of Akosua Serwaa that the legendary Daddy Lumba married her under the Ordinance Law (Civil Marriage) and was, therefore, the only surviving wife of the musician.

The Head of Public Relations at the West African Examinations Council (WAEC), John Kapi, has said the decline in performance, particularly in Social Studies and Core Mathematics in the 2025 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) as contained in the provisional results released at the weekend, was a reflection of the significant gap in students’ understanding and the ability to apply knowledge.

Speaking in a television interview with TV3on the programme Big Issues, Mr Kapi said, “candidates who relied solely on "rote learning," struggled to apply their knowledge in the 2025 exams.

“The questions required explanation in addition to factual recall, much like standards expected at the tertiary level. Those who were unable to adapt found subjects such as Social Studies particularly challenging,” he said.

More than 334,700 people are currently living with HIV in Ghana as of December 1, 2025.

Professor Stephen Adei has called for an overhaul of the senior high school management in Ghana, saying heads should have the authority to discipline or dismiss teachers who fail to teach during official school hours.

Speaking in a radio interview with Accra based Joy FM on Monday [December 1, 2025] in a reaction to the drop in performance in mathematics in the 2025 WASSCE math pass rate, Prof Adei said the public should not be surprised by the results because many teachers in public senior high schools now put their efforts into paid afternoon classes, often charging students about GH¢400 per subject per term.

He said some teachers avoid completing the syllabus during regular class hours, which puts students from low-income homes at a disadvantage.

Security has been intensified at the Manhyia Palace as the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, concludes mediation efforts between the two factions involved in the long-standing Bawku chieftaincy conflict.

The Ghana Education Service (GES) has dismissed claims by former Education Minister Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum that poor management practices contributed to the decline in students’ performance in the 2025 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).

There appears to be limited cooperation and collaboration between the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) and the Office of the Attorney-General when it comes to the prosecution of cases.

Whether this is merely perception or grounded in fact, the old saying still holds: actions speak louder than words. As Scripture says, “We speak of what we know, and we testify to what we have seen” (John 3:11, adapted).

Since its establishment, the OSP has consistently come under heavy criticism from the Ghanaian public for what many consider its ineffective delivery on its core mandate of investigating, prosecuting and curbing corruption and related offences.

Just about a week ago, there were renewed calls from the first Special Prosecutor, Mr. Martin Amidu, and private legal practitioner, Mr. Martin Kpebu, among others, for the current Special Prosecutor, Kissi Agyebeng, to resign.

An environmental advocate, Nana Dwomoh Sarpong has called for the government's reset agenda to be implemented as a comprehensive transformation that touches every sector of the nation.

He believes that a piecemeal approach will yield limited benefits. 

In an interview, he said to maximise the advantages of this reset, it must encompass a radical rethinking of the economy, healthcare system, job creation strategies, environmental policies, agriculture and other critical areas of national development.

The Moderator of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana, Rt Rev. Dr Abraham Nana Opare Kwakye, has urged Ghanaians to safeguard the long-standing harmony in mission schools by upholding mutual respect between religious groups and the proprietors of such institutions.
