Ghana’s Ministry of Education has detailed measures aimed at transforming the country’s education system.
The revisions will result in the abolition of the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) administered to final-year Junior High School students in order to gain admission to Senior High School.
The BECE will be phased out in favor of a placement examination for students entering SHS 1.
For the first year of Senior High School, pupils will take just basic subjects/programs.
After SHS 2, students will pick their professional options from vocational education, technical training, business, the arts, and science, upon completion of which they will get a certificate.
