‘BECE is now more or less a placement examination’ – Daniel Fenyi

He says access to SHS is a right of every child, and the placement system is designed to determine where a qualified student can be accommodated based on available spaces, examination results and the choices made by the candidate.“The whole logic behind this whole placement is that the access to senior high education is the right of the child.

Head of the Public Relations Unit of the GES, Daniel Fenyi, says the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) should now largely be viewed as a placement examination rather than a test that determines whether a child can progress to senior high school (SHS).
