Minister of Education, Haruna Iddrisu, has urged the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) to expedite the release of the 2025 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) results to reduce anxiety among candidates and the general public.
Speaking at the 2025 WAEC Distinction Awards Ceremony on Thursday, June 26, the Minister commended WAEC and the Ghana Education Service (GES) for the successful organization of the nationwide exam but stressed the importance of timely results.
“Let me commend you for a very successful BECE examination. What we expect from you now is the early, timely release of the results so that anxiety and anxiousness in the students will go down,” he said.
Mr. Iddrisu also announced plans to introduce a legislative framework to reform the country’s scholarship system.
He revealed that the Ghana Scholarship Authority Bill would soon be presented to Parliament on behalf of President John Dramani Mahama.
“In the coming weeks, I will introduce the Ghana Scholarship Authority Bill to Parliament, as promised by President Mahama, to address concerns of nepotism in the scholarship award process,” he stated.
The Minister appealed to the Chairman of the Parliamentary Select Committee on Education, Peter Nortsu Kotoe, and other lawmakers to support the bill when it is laid before the House.
