The Ghana Education Service (Ghana Education Service) says it has received about 500 anonymous complaints following the first day of the 2026 Basic Education Certificate Examination (Basic Education Certificate Examination).
Speaking on Adom TV’s Big Agenda, GES Public Relations Officer Daniel Fenyi explained that the complaints were submitted through dedicated confidential channels set up to report suspected examination malpractices.
According to him, all submissions are currently being reviewed.
He added that where evidence is established, appropriate disciplinary action will be taken against those found culpable.
Mr. Fenyi further noted that the identity of individuals who submit complaints will remain strictly confidential, stressing that their cooperation is helping authorities streamline monitoring efforts.
“Those sending the complaints are helping to make the work easy and identity of all the complainants will not be made public,” he assured.
The GES PRO also reiterated that no individual or institution has the authority to prevent any candidate from sitting for the BECE.
He emphasized that parents, guardians, head teachers, and school authorities cannot bar students from writing the exams over issues such as unpaid fees or other administrative challenges.
He further clarified that conditions such as pregnancy or lactation do not disqualify candidates, reaffirming GES’s commitment to inclusive education.
Mr. Fenyi encouraged the public to remain vigilant and report any irregularities during the examination period through official hotlines: 0201360789 and 02013602081.
