The Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) for 2023 will be written by over 600,000 candidates today, Monday, August 7, 2023.
From 18,993 schools across the country, they consist of 300,323 boys and 300,391 girls.
These candidates will be the final group of students to take the BECE.
Following the implementation of the new curriculum in 2019, a new exam will be given in 2024.
In 2024, students will write their Junior High School leaving examination, which will be based on the new Standard-based curriculum.
What this means is 2024 will see the introduction of a new BECE and a new era in examining students.
However, it must be noted that BECE has been in existence for over 30 years.
