A young Ghanaian girl who passed her Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) with distinction can smile again after being admitted to the prestigious Wesley Girls' High School.

The Executive Director of Education Watch, Kofi Asare, pushing for the intelligent student to be given her first choice in an update on his Facebook page, said the issue had been resolved.

He thanked the relevant authorities for their intervention in the matter.

"Thank you all for the support. The lady has finally gotten the Wesley Girls. The thing miraculously changed this dawn. I know those who did it do not want me to know them, so i don’t pressure them with another request…but I am grateful to them for serving justice to her. God bless them. Infact, now, i will pick my GES/MoE calls" he said.

Gilbert Aggrey-Fynn:

I know someone who attended Wesley Girls and got 3 Fs, I can even tag her and she would confirm but it's not necessary... It's not about the school it's all about you the individual!

Livingstone Agyeman:

"Miraculously changed." It is easy to infer that someone tampered with the system from the backend for this to have happened.How many learners may have been supercharged because they do not have a KOFI ASARE to amplify their plight?

Emmanuel Bagyo:

You are doing a great service to mother Ghana and to humanity. God bless you.

Let's identify the strengths of students

Speaking to YEN.com.gh on the issue, Mr Kofi Asare opined that the BECE is a placement examination hence calls for students who score below aggregate 25 to re-sit the exams should not be encouraged.

“The BECE is a placement exam, not a terminal exam. The main purpose is to determine who attends which school. That's all. Once there is enough school space for those scoring Aggregate 54, why deny them access by asking them to re-sit?”

He also stressed the need for measures to be put in place to identify the strengths of every student regardless of what aggregate he or she might get.

“What we must do is to identify the true strengths of every student so that, even if they obtain Aggregate 54 in BECE, we are able to identify their interests and help them pursue at the secondary level. It could be skills-TVET” he added.
