This year, thirty-four prisoners are participating in the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE), demonstrating tenacity and an unshakeable dedication to study.
The examination signifies the advancement from Junior High School to Senior High School and Technical Schools.
Each of the male candidates is dispersed throughout the nation’s prisons.
Inmates from Nsawam Maximum Security Prison, Sunyani Central Prison, and the Senior Correctional Centre (SCC) compose 27 of the group’s juvenile members.
Currently, 2,123 approved testing locations around the nation are hosting 569,095 applicants for this year’s exam, which got underway on Monday, July 8, 2024.
Monday, July 15, 2024, is when the tests will end.
The Ghana Education Service (GES) congratulated candidates in advance and expressed gratitude to parents, teachers, administrators of schools, teachers, and other stakeholders for their assistance.
The GES also warned everyone concerned to abstain from examination misconduct, noting that safeguards have been put in place to guarantee proper behavior.
After the BECE, the Senior High School selection procedure will start; specifics will be announced later.
