Portal for BECE Registration: The registration portal for candidates who are eligible to take the 2023 BECE has been opened by the West African Examination Council.
It was previously announced to the public that the site would be opened on Monday, March 27, 2023, to start the registration process.
The deadline for this registration process, according to WAEC, is this Friday, April 28, 2023.
All applicants must make sure that their bio data is appropriately entered and that they are registered for the appropriate subjects.
School administrators are urged to make sure that candidates are registered for the appropriate Basic Design Technologies and Ghanaian Language courses. Access arrangements will be made for candidates with special educational requirements, just like with the WASSCE (SC).
The 2023 BECE will officially begin on Monday August 7 and run until Friday August 11.
Exams will be written earlier this year than in prior years. The exam was conducted for applicants in 2022 from October 17 through October 21. The West African Examination Council is yet to announce the dates and times of its formal exams for prospective applicants.
The 2023 BECE, which will be taken in August, will be the final test for pupils utilizing the previous curriculum. The exam which will be administered in 2024 will use the common foundation curriculum. Due to the potential disadvantage for such children, the GES has instructed all head teachers to refrain from repeating any students who were in form two at the conclusion of the 2022 academic year.
