The Ministry of Education’s Public Relations Officer (PRO), Kwasi Kwarteng, has announced that the results of the 2022 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) will be made public on Thursday, January 19, 2023.
He made this disclosure in an interview on JoyNews’ AM Show, Friday.
“Our checks with WAEC show that hopefully by 19th January, the BECE results will be in,” he said.
The Ministry, according to the spokesperson, is eager to allow first-year Senior High School (SHS) students to begin classes early.
“As such, after the results are released, students will be assigned to their respective secondary schools a little sooner than before.
“This year, the placement will be quite earlier. Instead of March, we are looking at February so that students can get to school quite earlier,” Mr Kwarteng added.
He also advised 2022 BECE candidates to check online to view their school placements once they were released, and stated that there would be manual provisions in place for students who were unable to get schools through the Computerised School Selection and Placement System (CSSPS).
Mr. Kwarteng promised that when school placements are announced, more information will be made available.
