Students stranded over registration fees

Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that some students in the Gomoa East district were stranded on the first day of the 2023 BECE after their head teacher allegedly squandered their registration fees.

The head teacher in the Gomoa Budu Atta D/A Junior High School did not show up at the centre as the BECE kicked off on August 7, 2023.

The head teacher allegedly collected GH¢400, among other costs, to register candidates for the BECE but did not.

Meanwhile, YEN.com.gh earlier published that financial challenges from the government may delay the marking of BECE scripts.
