The Minister for Education, Haruna Iddrisu, has paid a working visit to the Babatokuma M/A Primary School in the Kintampo North Municipality of the Bono East Region.
The visit forms part of efforts to assess the level of preparedness ahead of the 2025 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE), which begins on June 11.
During his visit, the Minister toured the examination centre and interacted with school authorities, invigilators, and some final-year students.
“Government is committed to ensuring that every candidate sits for the BECE in a safe, well-prepared, and conducive environment,” Mr Iddrisu stated.
“This visit is to reassure students, teachers, and parents that the necessary logistical and administrative arrangements are in place.”
The Babatokuma centre is one of the designated venues for this year’s BECE in the Bono East Region. The Minister’s visit underscores the government’s focus on promoting quality education, equity, and access—especially in rural and underserved communities.
“We are working closely with the Ghana Education Service, WAEC, and local authorities to ensure a smooth and incident-free examination across the country,” the Minister added.
He encouraged the students to remain calm, focused, and confident as they prepare to take a major step in their academic journey.
