The Ghana Education Service (GES) in a released letter monitored by gespages.com, dated on 12th February, 2025 states that it has taken notice of allegations on social media that some Heads of Basic schools are imposing unauthorized BECE registration fees on final-year students.
According to GES, they wish to emphasize that these fees are unauthorized, and all Heads are advised to cease this practice immediately. Regional Directors are instructed to alert District Directors to monitor the situation and caution all Heads of Basic schools.
In view of this any Head who has collected such unauthorized fees is required to refund the monies promptly. Failure to comply will result in sanctions.
GES also said Heads of Basic schools are reminded that late registration of candidates will not be permitted. Therefore, all eligible candidates must be registered within the stipulated registration period set by the West African Examinations Council (WAEC).
