2012 Basic Education Certificate Examinations (BECE) In Ghana

Information reaching us from the gold coast now known as Ghana that the 2012 Basic Education Certificate Examinations (BECE) has begins and took off smoothly in some centres in the Tema Metropolis on Monday. But there is an issue that spring up. The issue is about the new timetable for the examination. One of the teacher has made a call to the governing body of the exam, West African Examinations Council (WAEC) to take a look agaiun on the time table. He said that he wants the exam body to revert from the new to the old time table for the examination.

He goes by the name, John Quaye who is a Mathematics and Physics teacher at Chemu Senior High School in Tema. In his speech, he said that the current time table was not benefitting the candidates since most of them only stand and chat during the scheduled breaks.

Mr Quaye further explained that, until last year when the time table was changed, BECE candidates wrote two subject papers a day during which both the objectives and written parts of a subject were written at a sitting before breaking to prepare for the next subject.

The time table needs to be reverted truly. What do you think?
