The Ministry of Education has announced the commencement of the school selection process for candidates preparing to sit for the 2025 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE), beginning today, June 2, 2025.

The exercise, which will run for nine days nationwide, comes ahead of the start of the BECE on June 11, 2025.

Speaking on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem, the Principal Information Officer at the Ministry, Larry George Botchway, revealed that teams from relevant institutions have already embarked on nationwide sensitisation to guide candidates through the new selection procedures.

“The registration will last nine days and the candidates have been briefed. Almost everyone knows what it entails. The process starts today and we have put in place stringent measures to ensure everyone meets the deadline,” he stated.

Mr. Botchway expressed optimism that the process will be smooth, with minimal challenges.

“Over the years, we’ve reviewed the issues that come up, and officers have been deployed for sensitisation. We expect that prospective candidates fill in the correct information. We will manage any challenges that arise,” he added.

He also noted that there may be a mop-up exercise to allow candidates to correct any errors that may occur during the initial registration.

Mr. Botchway urged candidates, parents, and guardians to take full advantage of the nine-day window and comply with all laid-down procedures.
