2025 WASSCE: ‘Stop Intimidating candidates with military presence’ – Yaw Dabo
Kumawood actor Yaw Dabo has shared his thoughts on a viral video circulating online, which captured military personnel supervising candidates during the ongoing 2025 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE).
In a video posted on X on August 27, 2025, Yaw Dabo expressed disappointment in the Ghana Education Service (GES), stating that the presence of military officers and some GES officials is causing panic among the candidates.
“I have seen a video online and I am saddened by it. Has it gotten to the point where they are using military personnel as invigilators during WASSCE?
“The man in the video, going up and down, checking what they have written, is causing fear and panic. How can they have a sound mind to write their papers?” he said.
Yaw Dabo further noted that the Ghana Education Service (GES) should stop mounting pressure on the candidates.
“Everyone has cheated during exams, including the police and the fire service. You people should stop putting pressure on these kids.
“This thing doesn’t happen to kids abroad. Most of these kids won’t get jobs to do even if they pass or not,” he added.
