Two BECE candidates sit for exams despite motor accident in Nkwanta South
Two Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) candidates were involved in a motorbike accident while travelling to their examination centre in the Nkwanta South Municipality. The candidates were rushed to St. Joseph Catholic Hospital, where they received treatment and later reported to the examination centre to write their papers.
Jonathan Korsinah, the Municipal Education Director for Nkwanta South, confirmed the incident in an interview with Adom News. He said that some parents had refused to allow their children to camp ahead of the examinations due to ongoing insecurity in the municipality. He added that many candidates have had limited time to prepare, having stayed home for nearly three months without attending classes. According to him, the disruption has contributed to a decline in BECE performance compared to previous years, at a time the municipality has been working to improve educational outcomes. He appealed to community members to embrace peace, stressing that insecurity is undermining learning and threatening the future of children in the area.
Visits to some BECE centres by Adom News' Obrempongba K. Owusu revealed the presence of police personnel and joint military patrols providing security to ensure the safety of candidates throughout the examinations.
