Background to the BECE

The Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE), organised annually by the West African Examinations Council (WAEC), is Ghana’s standardised national assessment for final-year Junior High School students. It signifies the completion of the nine-year Basic Education cycle and serves as the basis for placement into Senior High Schools (SHS), Technical Institutes, and Vocational Schools through the Computerised School Selection and Placement System (CSSPS).

Candidates are assessed in core subject areas including English Language, Mathematics, Integrated Science, Social Studies, and Ghanaian Language, among others, to determine their readiness for the next stage of education.
