Here is the latest update on the illegalities of BECE registration of students for the examination.
Ghana Education Service seeks to create an enabling environment in all educational institutions and management positions that will facilitate effective teaching and learning and efficiency in the management for the attainment of the goals of the Service.
The Management of the Ghana Education Service wishes to remind all Heads of Basic Schools (both public and private) that registration of JHS1 and JHS2 for the BECE is ILLEGAL.
Registration of candidates for the BECE is strictly for students in Junior High School Form Three (JHS3) only.
It is against the Ghana Education Service (GES) and the West African Examinations Council’s (WAEC) Rules and Regulations to register JHS1 and JHS2 students either in their own schools or in different schools to write the BECE.
Also, it is ILLEGAL for any Head of a public basic school to register JHS3 students from another school (public or private) to write the BECE.
BECE REGISTRATION- INTERVENTIONS / SANCTIONS
Please note that there will be an audit of the BECE-registered candidates immediately after the registration exercise. Any student found to have been registered illegally will have his/her registration NULLIFIED by WAEC.
Headteachers involved will be severely sanctioned to serve as a deterrent to others.

The period for the registration of the candidates which will be set by WAEC should be strictly complied with to avoid late registration.
By this letter, Regional Directors of Education are requested to communicate this information to Metro/Municipal/District Directors of Education to inform all Heads of Basic Schools to take note and comply with the above directives to ensure a smooth BECE registration exercise.
