2 pupils from Ghana were recognized for dominating West Africa in 2022 – WASSCE
The top two positions in the best student rankings for the 2022 West Africa Senior Secondary Certificate Test have been won by two Ghanaian senior high school graduates (WASSCE).
Ogiidigbo Chioma Blessing of Nigeria, who finished in third place, lost to St. James Seminary SHS students Alex Opoku Manu and Benjamin Eyram Nana Kwame Degbey.
The graduates were presented with their diplomas at the 71st Annual Council Meeting of the West African Examination Council (WAEC), which was held in Gambia, even though this information was made public earlier this year.
The pupils received recognition for their outstanding achievement among the five nations that participated in the exam.
In a Facebook post, Ghana Education Service (GES) praised the youngsters for their accomplishment.
Dr. Eric Nkansah, the director-general of GES, and Father Owusu Sekyere, the headmaster of Opoku Ware School, traveled to The Gambia with Ghana’s team.
At the 2022 National Science and Math Quiz, the pair additionally represented St. James Seminary (NSMQ).
In the quarterfinals, Alex and Eyram defeated GHANASS and Kumasi Sec Tech with an astounding 44 points.
The semi-final matchup between the boys and the contest’s top seeds, Presec Legon and Kumasi High School, was intense, but the boys lost and were eliminated.
Alex Opoku Manu is studying medicine at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology after their success in the 2022 WASSCE.
At Academic City, Benjamin Eyram Degbey also studies electrical and electronic engineering.
