KUMASI MAYOR TOURS BECE EXAM CENTERS

The Mayor of Kumasi, Hon. Samuel Pyne, visited BECE centers in Kumasi today, Monday, July 8, to wish candidates a successful examination.

He took the opportunity to advise candidates to avoid examination malpractices, be disciplined throughout the duration of the exam, and write clearly.

He encouraged them to remain calm and confident, recalling what they had learned.

A total of 9,274 BECE candidates in the Kumasi Metropolitan area are joining the rest of the country to sit for the exam from Monday, July8, to Friday, July 12, 2024.

Hon. Samuel Pyne was joined by Mr. Francis Dwira-Darko, Metro Coordinating Director; Mr. David Oppong, Metro Education Director; Mr. Nicholas Bassaw, Metro Education Head of Monitoring and Supervision; and Judith Mensah Pamford, Metro Education Head of Planning Unit during his tour of the exam centers.

Examination centers visited by the Mayor of Kumasi and his entourage include State Experimental M/A, Kumasi Senior High Technical School, Opoku Ware Senior High School, and St. Hubert's Senior High and Seminary School.

While praying for their success, Hon. Samuel Pyne, in his pep-talk, assured them that the government's Free SHS Programme is ready to benefit them and help shape their future.

He also urged them to work hard and make the most of this opportunity, as it would pave the way for their future success.

"Write well, pay attention to instructions and directions from your exam supervisors, and I hope you will pass well to take advantage of President Nana Akufo-Addo's Free SHS Policy after this exam.

This examination marks the beginning of your careers. How you perform will determine your future," Hon. Pyne advised.
