Problem at WeyGeyHey is national
We, the undersigned, submit this open letter in support of our school, Wesley Girls’ High School (WGHS), Cape Coast.

Recently, in the media, it has been implied that the school's admissions process is unfair and unethical. We take exception to these allegations, which are based on "anonymous” testimonials and unsubstantiated stories.
“Live Pure, Speak True, Right Wrong, Follow The King” is our motto. In our almost 200-year history, we have strived to live up to this aspiration, and faithfully serve our nation, our communities and our families. 'Wesley Girls' generates respect and admiration worldwide, and we owe our reputation to the dedication of our teachers and staff — past and present — and to our active network of Old Girls. We also owe our hard-earned reputation to our admissions process, which places a strong emphasis on academic excellence.
This tradition can only be maintained by respecting our headmistress’ executive responsibility and good judgement, and ensuring her freedom from undue pressure. We also believe that unwarranted expansion of individual class sizes would be detrimental to the quality of education at WGHS.
While we appreciate parents’ anxiety about their children's future, we believe that, ultimately, the real issue at stake is Education in Ghana. The conditions and limitations of our educational system are beyond the abilities of a single secondary school.
We, therefore, invite the public to join us in a dialogue about Education in Ghana, and help identify opportunities for improvement.
We call for your support in creating “life opportunities” for all Ghanaian youth, regardless of social background, religion, hometown. As always, we aim to Live Pure, Speak True, Right Wrong and Follow our values.
If you would like to share your thoughts about improving Education in Ghana, find us on Facebook WeyGeyHey classofeightythree or Twitter at #weygeyheyclassof83
