You go to places and the teachers are conniving with the students to cheat. The effect will be seen later,\u201d John Mahama averred.<\/p>\n<p>He said the implication of the development will hit the nation sooner or later.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou certify these children saying they are of this standard either the BECE or SSCE, and that child will use that certificate, go abroad to a school and they will find out that your qualification is not up to the standard you say it is,\u201d he indicated.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has said that the remarkable outcome of the 2023 WASSCE was a result of hard work on the part of the students.<\/p>\n<p>He indicated that the students made Ghana proud with their good results.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCongratulations to all WASSCE students, their teachers as well as their parents for the excellent performance attained by the students in this year\u2019s WASSCE. This is no doubt the result of hard work and dedication by all of you.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou have made Ghana proud and I wish you the very best as you move on to greater challenges. Please don\u2019t let anyone denigrate your achievements. Not everyone can appreciate what it takes to be an intelligent student. You have earned the excellent performances by dint of hard work. God bless you.
