The Tema West Municipal Chief Executive (MCE), Ludwig Teye Totimeh, has urged candidates sitting for the 2026 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) to rely on their preparation and avoid examination malpractice as they strive for academic success.
Mr Totimeh made the call during a monitoring tour of selected examination centres in the municipality, including Lashibi Community Day Senior High School and Corpus Christi Senior High School.
The visit formed part of the municipality’s annual exercise to assess the conduct of the examinations and offer encouragement to candidates writing their Social Studies paper.
Addressing students, the MCE advised them to remain confident and focused, stressing that hard work and discipline were the keys to achieving good results.
He reminded candidates that their examination performance would reflect the sacrifices and investments made by their parents, guardians and teachers throughout their educational journey.
Mr Totimeh also commended examination officials for the smooth and orderly conduct of the examinations, noting that reports from the centres indicated no cases of absenteeism or examination malpractice during the paper.
He challenged the students to aim for excellence and help enhance the reputation of their schools through outstanding academic performance.
The MCE wished the candidates success in their remaining papers, including Core Mathematics, and expressed confidence that they would emerge as responsible and productive citizens capable of contributing meaningfully to national development.
