Education Minister Haruna Iddrisu wants the West African Examinations Council to deliver test papers on time. He says quick delivery helps make sure exams start and finish when they should at all testing centers across Ghana. The minister visited a test center Wednesday with the Ghana Education Service Director-General. He spoke to students taking their Basic Education Certificate Examination. The minister told students to stay calm and believe what they learned during school.
He warned against cheating during the tests. The minister said these young people are Ghana's future and must act with honesty. No student should take part when someone tries to cheat on tests. More than 600,000 students will take the BECE tests that started Wednesday and run through June 17. This number shows about 34,000 more students than last year took the same tests.
The group has 297,250 male students and 306,078 female students from schools across the country. Both public and private schools sent students to take these important tests. The minister stressed that exam centers everywhere must have their materials delivered quickly. He believes this helps create fair testing conditions for all students no matter where they live.
