With all the monies spent on the Free Quality Education, there is little being done by Government schools in terms of academic performances. For the past years, Government Schools have not been seen doing much compared to private schools in Public Exams. Private Schools are taking the lead in Public Exams through their stellar Performance, while Government schools are still lagging behind.
The recent WASSCE Result announced by Ministry of Basic and Senior Secondary Education (MBSEE) has put Providence International Senior High School in the leap forward.
Remarkably, two students from the school also achieved stellar scores of 8 A1s each.
The Ministry highlighted, “Two candidates, Raymonda E. Mammah and Sahr Edward Fillie, both from Providence International Senior High School, emerged as top performers in the 2023 WASSCE results.
While both attempted 9 subjects, they secured 8A1s (excellent) and 1 B2 (very good) each, boasting an impressive average grade/unit of 1.11 (excellent). Notably, 16 of the top-performing candidates in 2023 surpassed the best average grade from 2022.”
The commendable achievements extend to the school level as well. “The most outstanding school, Providence International Senior High School, saw results from all 185 of its candidates released. Every one of them met the direct university undergraduate degree program requirements, demonstrating proficiency in a minimum of 5 subjects, including English Language and Mathematics,” the release states.
Further insights revealed a growth in candidates meeting university entrance criteria: 137,245 in 2023, a leap from 108,418 in the previous year.
Despite the advancements, the results still retained 34,525, potentially boosting the number of students meeting university prerequisites if released. The report, however, did highlight an area of concern, noting that “only 17% of candidates achieved a credit or better in the English Language.”
In terms of subject performance, 2023 saw an overall improvement compared to the prior year. The report mentioned, “There’s a noticeable uptick in student performance, especially in the A1 to C4 grade range for key subjects. The MBSSE is meticulously reviewing grade distributions and will liaise with WAEC for any necessary deliberations.”
