Private schools petition government, calls for an independent review of BECE  

Ghana National Council of Private Schools (GNACOPS) and the Ghana National Association of Private Schools (GNAPS) has presented a petition to the Ministry of Education for an independent review of the assessment, moderation and marking processes of this year’s Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE).

It will also reinforce the constitutional recognition of private education, protect the legitimate expectations of learners and parents, and further enhance the credibility of the West African Examinations Council and Ghana’s national examination system.

She requested to the Ministry to determine whether the existing assessment and moderation framework provided adequate safeguards to ensure fairness, consistency, objectivity, transparency, and equal treatment for all candidates, including private schools.
