Sam George: NDC MP ‘Writes BECE’ in His Constituency, Answers True or False Questions in Funny Video

• A video of Ningo Prampram MP Sam George 'resiting' the Basic Education and Certificate Exam (BECE) has got people laughing
• Sam George, while commissioning a new classroom block in his constituency, sat behind a desk, set his questions and answered them
• The video, however, angered some Ghanaians who felt the Minister was being too playful instead of focusing on his mandate as a Communications Minister

Member of Parliament for Ningo Prampram, Sam George, got people talking after a video of him 'resitting' the Basic Education Certificate Exam (BECE) surfaced online.

The MP, while commissioning a classroom in his constituency, sat behind a desk, pulled a pen from his pocket and requested his exam paper.

BECE commenced in Ghana on June 11, 2025, with over 600,000 candidates partaking in the exam nationwide.

The MP, while commissioning a classroom in his constituency on June 11, 2025, sat behind a desk, pulled a pen from his pocket, and requested an exam paper.

He was handed a sheet, after which the MP, who also serves as the Minister for Communications, set his own questions and proceeded to answer them.

His questions were in a true-or-false format, focused on the achievements of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government under President Mahama during its first five months in office, which he then answered himself.

"Aban papa aba; True or false?" he said with the team that went with him to commission the facility, choosing an option in the background.

His other questions addressed whether data bundle allocations had been increased and prices reduced, whether the value of the Ghana cedi had risen against the dollar, among other issues.

When members of his team responded in the affirmative to all his questions, he said he had finished his paper and handed it over to one man who posed as an invigilator.

Sam George's depiction of a BECE candidate writing his final exam got the team that accompanied him to commission the building laughing; however, many viewers were displeased with the footage.

Pregnant BECE candidate delivers baby boy

Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that a young girl writing the 2025 BECE delivered a baby boy on June 11, 2025, at the Asenua Presbyterian JHS Examination Centre in Mamponteng, Ashanti Region.

She went into labour while being escorted to the washroom by a policewoman, who quickly raised an alarm after recognising the signs of distress.

The candidate was moved to the headmaster’s office, where she successfully gave birth with assistance from school staff and emergency services.
