The Ghana National Education Campaign Coalition (GNECC) has extended its best wishes to the more than 600,000 candidates who will be taking the 2023 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) for School.
The exams are scheduled to take place from Monday, August 7, 2023, to Friday, August 11, 2023.
In a statement, GNECC reminded all candidates of the significance of integrity and honesty throughout the examination process.
The BECE marks a crucial step in the educational journey of Ghanaian students, acting as a gateway to higher education opportunities and future career prospects.
Bernice Mpere-Gyekye, the National Coordinator for GNECC, acknowledged the hard work and dedication of both students and teachers in preparing for the exams.
She emphasized the importance of upholding ethical standards and avoiding any form of exam malpractice. Cheating not only undermines the integrity of the examination process but also hampers the development of a fair and merit-based education system.
GNECC urged candidates to rely on their knowledge, skills, and preparation to excel in their exams. Additionally, the coalition called upon the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) to enhance security measures and take proactive steps to prevent the leakage of examination questions.
Leakage of exam questions not only compromises the fairness of the examination but also erodes public trust in the education system. GNECC urged WAEC to strengthen its systems, employ advanced technologies, and collaborate with relevant stakeholders to ensure a secure and transparent examination process.
GNECC remains dedicated to advocating for quality pre-tertiary education in Ghana. The coalition firmly believes that every child deserves access to a high-quality education that equips them with the necessary skills and knowledge for personal growth and national development.
