BECE Candidates Of Ebenezer Presby Preparatory writing their exams at Twene Amanfo Secondary School
Information reaching DAILY GUIDE indicates that more than six Junior High School candidates writing this year’s Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) in the Sunyani Municipality in the Brong Ahafo region are pregnant.
The girls are believed to be among 2,948 pupils writing the exams in 11 centres in the municipality.
When DAILY GUIDE spoke to some of the pupils at the Twene Amanfo Secondary Technical School, which hosts four centres, they confirmed hearing the news but could not name the pregnant candidates.
One of the girls noted that on Tuesday she heard that some of her colleagues were pregnant.
She was optimistic and prayed that the markers would do an effective job.
“I can confidently say so far it has been good and my mates have been saying the same thing, our mock exams were more difficult than the BECE,” she said happily.
