WASSCE past questions website, mobile App to be created – MoE
The Ministry of Education (MoE) is considering developing WASSCE past questions website and App to enable final-year students to prepare to sit for the international examination, Deputy Minister for Education, Ntim Fordjour has said.
Speaking in an interview with the Kumasi-based Hello 104.5 FM monitored by AcademicWeek, Reverend Ntim Fordjour said this move is to reduce the cost of publishing the past question and answers booklet manually for the students.

Asked if the government each year would procure the WAEC past questions for WASSCE students, the Deputy Education Minister said no adding that his outfit is considering developing a website for the questions download.
“We are not going to print them each year, we have installed internet in all Senior High Schools so going forward we are planning to create a past questions website or app for students to access the questions,” John Ntim stated.
He explained the first set of procured past questions (2013 to 2018) could not be retrieved from the final year students after last year’s WASSCE because the students were very happy and took the books home as their own property.
The Assin South Member of Parliament, however, said the former questions (from the year 2015 to 2020) after the conduct of the WASSCE for School candidates examination would be returned by the final year SHS students.
“We have tasked the heads of Senior High Schools and teachers to ensure students who do not return the books after sitting the examination are not given their clearance, the past questions books are government property,” Ntim noted.
The Deputy Minister in charge of Education indicated that WASSCE candidates who fail to return their copies of the Government of Ghana (GoG) past questions booklet will not be given clearance to receive their WASSCE results.
“This time we want the past questions booklet to be a school property, we are putting in a system in place to ensure they become a school property just like the textbooks government procures for them,” the Assin South MP stressed.
