2021 BECE scheduled to begin on Monday, Nov. 15
The Ghana Education Service (GES) has
announced that this year’s Basic Education Certificate Examinations (BECE) will
commence on Monday, November 15, 2021
The examinations,
which will end on Friday, November 19, will be held at 2,158 centres, with a
total of 571,894 candidates across the country.
In a statement signed by the Public Relations Officer for
the Service, Cassandra Twum Ampofo, she urged the candidates to eschew all
forms of examination malpractices during the period.
“Candidates, invigilators, supervisors, school
authorities, teachers and parents are advised to desist from any form of
examination malpractice.”
“GES, WAEC and the security services are working jointly
to ensure the smooth conduct of the examinations at all the centres across the
country,” she added.
Meanwhile, “parents, candidates and the general public
are informed that the school selection process will commence after the BECE.”
Details of the selection process, the GES says, will be
communicated in due time.
Unlike previous years, where the national exercise was
held in May/June, the 2020 and 2021 editions had to be postponed due to
disruption of the previous academic calendar by the COVID-19 pandemic
