All the candidates sitting for the 2023 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) have received good luck wishes from the National Convention (PNC).
All things being equal, the examination, which started on Monday, August 7, 2023, is anticipated to end on Friday, August 11, 2023.
In a statement issued by General Secretary Janet Asana Nabla and sighted by 1Family Radio, the PNC urged the candidates to approach the examination with honesty and fairness.
“We encourage students to approach the examination with honesty, fairness, and a commitment to demonstrate their genuine abilities.’’
“Students should strongly resist any temptation to engage in examination malpractice, as it undermines the true value and tarnishes the credibility of the examination system,’’ parts of the statement read.
The party furthered this by urging parents to also ‘’desist from engaging in acts that compromise the integrity of the examination, such as procuring examination questions for students and compromising invigilation through foul means.’’
“This act would lead to sowing seeds of corruption in the children, which will ultimately work against our collective good by producing corrupt future politicians and citizens,’’ it noted.
“We therefore call upon the Ghana Education Service to expedite the development and implementation of comprehensive guidelines for a punishment regime that promotes students and educators’ welfare and wellbeing.’’
“These guidelines should prioritize constructive measures that encourage behavioral correction, restorative justice, and counseling, creating a nurturing atmosphere for students to grow academically, socially, and emotionally,’’ the party wrote.
