Ghana's educational system is gradually improving as innovative measures have been adopted to revitalise the sector.

A video shared on TV3's X (formerly Twitter) page showed a drone transporting exam papers to some schools in the Ashanti Region.

In previous years, schools in some depraved communities experienced delays in commencing their BECE exams due to failure to transport exam papers in time, resulting from challenges such as poor road networks, poor weather conditions, etc.

One of the communities that suffered in this regard was Sekyere Affram Plains in the Ashanti Region.

Following the previous incidents, the government, led by Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, sought ways to curtail the challenge and introduced the use of drones.

The initiative was piloted in the Sekyere Affram Plains last year and used again this year.

BECE: Ghanaian students go shoe-less as GES bans shoes, belts at exams halls: "Zero ideas & strategies"

In an earlier publication, YEN.com.gh reported that a video of some Ghanaian students in the North Tongu district walking into the examination hall without shoes has surfaced on social media.

Following a GES directive, students wrote their exams without belts and full shoes; rather, most of them were seen wearing sandals and slippers to write the exam.

The video has sparked reactions online as most Ghanaians called out the GES for issuing such a directive.
