Certificate Examination (BECE) will be without any malpractices by

pupils, invigilators or supervisors.

Over 438 thousand pupils across Ghana are expected to write the week-long exam.

In previous years there have been malpractices associated with BECE

but the ministry says security has been tightened against any breach

of exam regulations.

Public Relation Officer at the ministry Francis Gbadago says

examination materials have been delivered to all the centers by the

West African Examination Council (WAEC).

He urged candidates, supervisors and invigilators to adhere strictly

to the rules and regulations governing the examinations.

Obed Opoku, a driver were paid Ȼ4,000 to help students cheatin the
