Professor Emeritus at Ashesi University, , has attributed the growing cases of examination malpractice in Ghana to what he describes as 'schooling without learning' and a broader decline in societal values.

In an interview with Joy FM on Monday, September 8, 2025, Prof Adei said the recent scandal, in which some Ghana Education Service (GES) officials, supervisors and invigilators were implicated in aiding candidates to cheat, was not an isolated act of corruption. "What is happening is a reflection of the moral decadence in our society.

When you see politicians openly bribing their way; it makes such act appear normal.

When people say that so long as we get money, even if we poison the whole nation, we don't care; then it shows how we view corruption.
