BECE begins peacefully at Abavana Cluster of Schools  

This year’s Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) began smoothly at the Abavana Cluster of Schools, with no reported incidents.  

Mr Kwasi Botwey, Supervisor at Abavana Compound “A”, told the GNA that all arrangements had been completed ahead of the examination.  

He said the exam commenced at 0917 hours due to the late arrival of examination materials.  

Mr Botwey stated that measures were put in place to ensure a smooth process devoid of disturbances.  

“Before the exams, we cautioned them to be of good behaviour by avoiding examination malpractice and encouraged them to learn and pass well,” he said.  

He indicated that three schools were presenting candidates at the centre: Abavana Junior High School with 49 candidates, Kotobabi ‘4’ JHS with 43 candidates, and Faith Christian Academy with 40 candidates.  

Mr. Botwey advised candidates to avoid any form of cheating to prevent sanctions.  

He appealed to the government to provide additional furniture, describing it as one of the major challenges facing the school.  

Professor Ernest Kofi Davis, Director-General of the Ghana Education Service, during a media briefing last Monday called for the cooperation of all stakeholders to minimise or eliminate examination malpractice.  

He warned, “Invigilators and supervisors [must] desist from any act that would affect the integrity of the examinations, saying anyone caught would face the law.”  

Police personnel and invigilators are present at various centres to ensure order and a peaceful exercise.  

Some schools visited by GNA declined interviews, stating they needed clearance from their superiors.  

A total of 603,328 candidates are sitting for the examination, comprising 306,078 females and 297,250 males.  

The examination, which began today, Wednesday, June 11, will end on June 18, 2025.  

Candidates are writing Social Studies and Computing papers on the first day.
