In a statement signed by Dr. Kwabena Bempah Tandoh Deputy Director-General in charge of Q&A, it has come to the attention of Management of the Ghana Education Service that some Heads of Public Basic Schools are repeating the last academic year’s JHS 2 students who are progressing to JHS 3 this academic year.Â

Management of GES takes serious exception to this practice. This is due to the fact that the current JHS 3 students are the last batch of the Objective-Based Curriculum who will write the BECE this year.
The current JHS 2 students are the first batch who will write BECE in 2024 using the Standard- Based Curriculum.
In view of the above, all last year’s JHS 2 shudents should progress to JHS 3 in order not too disadvantage any Objective-Base Curriculum students in the BECE.
