A total of 603,328 candidates are expected to take part in the 2025 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE), scheduled to run from Wednesday, June 11 to Wednesday, June 18, across the country, the Ghana Education Service announced Monday.
According to the Director-General of the GES, Prof. Ernest Kofi Davis, the total figure is made up of 297,250 males and 306,078 females from both public and private schools.
He cautioned candidates to refrain from cheating, and examination malpractices warning invigilators and supervisors to uphold strict professionalism or risk dismissal.
“We need the cooperation of all stakeholders to ensure that examination malpractice of all forms is reduced to the barest minimum or eliminated, because examination malpractice does not have a system to accurately measure the performance of the student.
“Once students are cheating their way through, it is difficult to ascertain how well our education system is performing. So we are appealing to all to support us in fighting examination malpractices. Invigilators who are caught aiding examination malpractice will be severely punished,” he cautioned.
Prof. Davis further revealed that all materials and timetables connected to the examination had already been dispatched to various centres across the country, assuring that the GES fully prepared for a smooth and credible process.
The GES boss reiterated the Service’s resolve to clamp down on exam fraud and urged the public to support efforts to preserve the integrity of Ghana’s basic education system. Enditem
