The Ghana Education Service (GES) has revealed new schedule for the West African Secondary School Certificate Examination( WASSCE) and Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE).
According to the Director-General of the GES, Professor Kwasi Opoku Amankwa the WASSCE has been scheduled for September/October.
The BECE is also scheduled for November 2021.
“Per our arrangements, we expect that the next exams will be written in September/October, and we have already started discussions with WAEC on that,” he said.
This was announced during a press conference today, January 4, 2021.
Mr. Amankwaa said the proposal is to allow students to prepare adequately for the exams.
“We needed to make provision for marking and release of exam results and reopening so if we decide on October/November, it will be difficult for WAEC to release exams early enough for admissions to take place in January.
“So, per our calculation, we have proposed September /October, and we noticed that when we use these dates, we would have covered 1,700 hours and will only be short of one-hour contact period which we can always make up for.”
