The Member of Parliament for Ofoase-Ayirebi Constituency in the Eastern Region, has urged BECE candidates to pay attention to detail and understand questions before attempting to answer them.
He gave the advice when he toured the Akyemansa District on Monday morning with the District Chief Executive of the area, Paul Asamoah, and the District Director of Education, Elizabeth Korkor Amanor, to offer words of encouragement to the candidates in the town.
He also offered useful tips on answering examination questions, saying “All the questions on that paper are things that you have been taught already. Just take your time, understand the questions and write out your answers clearly. Even where you do not have answers, take your time and think about it and you will find an answer.”
Sharing his own experience, Oppong Nkrumah said: “I have written exams from BECE through to law school to become a lawyer, and I have never failed in any of my examinations because I take my time to write. You just need to go through the questions thoroughly and think through the answers carefully before writing them out”, he added.
He congratulated students for overcoming the junior high school hurdle and completing their first papers, and assured that the Akufo-Addo administration’s Free SHS programme awaits them if they pass.
The 2017 BECE began with an overall student population of 1,204 students from 67 schools in the district writing in five examination centres.
