Eschew all forms of examination malpractice – Education Minister tells SHS students

Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum, the Minister of Education, has warned Senior High School pupils against engaging in any type of test misconduct.

According to him, cheating would cause their results to be thrown out and perhaps cut short their study, ruining their future.

During a visit to a few schools in the Ashanti Region, Dr. Adutwum gave the pupils advice.

Recently, the Education Minister has started making surprise visits to various schools around the nation to see what they are up to at a given moment.

The Education Minister has previously visited Juaben SHS, Kweneboa Koduah SHS in Kumawu, Mansoman Senior High in Amansie West District, Jachiepramso SHS, and other schools in the Ashanti Region.

According to Dr. Yaw Adutwum, "Examination malpractices have resulted in considerable havoc to many people who have regretted in life, but they cannot change the hands of time”.


He encouraged the students writing the examination this year to be confident, write and pass well to enable them to further their education to the tertiary level.

He also reminded them of government’s huge investment in them through the Free Senior High School (FSHS) programme and TVET since the surest way they could justify the government’s investment is for them to pass the examination.


“You are the future leaders who will hold responsible positions and that is why your parents and the government have invested much in your education.


“I am therefore begging you to do your best and pass the examination well but we will be disappointed if you fail us,” he told the candidates.
