Ghana's exam results took a nosedive this year, and math got absolutely destroyed with the failure rate jumping from 6% to almost 27%. Social Studies became another disaster zone with failures climbing to over 27%, while Integrated Science and English also saw massive drops in student performance.
WAEC blamed part of the collapse on widespread cheating that forced them to cancel thousands of test scores. Over 6,000 kids lost their subject results for sneaking in materials, and another 653 got everything wiped because they brought phones into testing rooms. Investigators are still checking nearly 200 schools for suspected collusion schemes.
Thirty-five people caught heat for trashing exam credibility, and 19 of them were teachers who already went through court. Officials said they're grinding through investigations while trying to tighten security for future testing cycles.
