Krachi East: A total of 1,792 candidates will take the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE), a crucial milestone in their academic journey in the Krachi East Municipality of the Oti region.

According to Ghana News Agency, the Municipal Examination Coordinator, Mr. Michael Asun, stated that the candidates are drawn from 70 Junior High Schools (JHS), comprising 57 public schools and 13 private schools.

The candidates include 824 females and 968 males. Mr. Asun revealed this information in an interview, highlighting the preparations underway for the examination. He mentioned that there would be six examination centres across Krachi East Municipality to facilitate the writing of the BECE.

Mr. Asun emphasized that the move was to ease the burden on both teachers and students, who would otherwise have to travel to Dambai, the capital of Krachi East, to sit for the exams. He expressed that the arrangement is expected to ensure a smooth conduct of the exams.

He further noted that the multiple exam centres would allow the candidates to sit for the exams closer to their locations, reducing logistical challenges, and promoting a conducive examination environment.
