JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS ARE LIKELY TO WRITE BECE WITHOUT SEEING ANY TEXTBOOK – KOFI ASARE

The Executive Director of Africa Education Watch, Kofi Asare says there is a likelihood that Junior High School students may have to take the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) without access to any textbooks.

According to him, there has been a shift in the curriculum since the finalisation of the Common Core curriculum by government. He emphasised that the Common Core curriculum did not reach finalisation on the same day as the primary school curriculum. Speaking on JoyFM’s Super Morning Show on Wednesday, January 3, Mr Asare stated that the first batch of students using the Common Core curriculum would be sitting for the BECE next year.
