Tema West Education Director urges students to embrace independent work
Mr Isaac MacCarthy-Mensah, Tema West Municipal Education Director, has urged the 2024 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) candidates to be confident by working independently.
Mr MacCarthy said independent work in the WASSCE was the only means they could boldly take ownership of their results, saying that the students in the municipality had been taking through a series of tests to prepare them, expressing the hope that they would come out successful.
Speaking with the Ghana News Agency (GNA) in an interview, he said students must set a dedicated time for self-study, review their notes, practice past questions, assess their performance, and read instructions to build their confidence to face their papers.
“The system put in by the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) is such that when they engage in any type of copying, it would be identified as the examiners are experienced and can detect; therefore, it is better they do independent work,” Mr MacCarthy stated.
He explained that taking ownership of their learning through independent work was crucial for raising problem-solving students who could identify knowledge gaps, set goals, and take steps to achieve them.
The Tema West Education Director urged parents and guardians to support candidates in their endeavour, providing and encouraging self-directed learning.
He urged the students to put up with their best behaviour as well as get to examination centres early, follow rules and instructions, avoid all forms of malpractice, and create a conducive environment for success.-GNA
