GoG And WAEC BECE DEBT ISSUES: The Government Must Declare Its Inability To Ghanaians – William Boadi, EAI
In a compelling statement, William Boadi of the Educate Africa Institute (EAI) has drawn attention to the pressing issue of the Government of Ghana’s (GoG) inability to settle its debts with the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) for the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE). Boadi asserts that GoG must transparently declare its financial incapacity to the Ghanaian public and seek assistance from parents and guardians to cover BECE registration fees for their children.
He contrasts this situation with private schools, where the financial responsibility lies directly with parents who pay BECE fees upfront, thereby preventing similar debts to WAEC.
This call highlights deeper systemic challenges within Ghana’s educational framework, where financial management and resource allocation for public education are under scrutiny.
The plea for parental involvement underscores the urgency of ensuring uninterrupted access to BECE examinations, crucial for students’ educational progression and future opportunities.
As stakeholders await a proactive response from GoG, the discourse intensifies around equitable educational policies and sustainable funding mechanisms to safeguard the integrity and reliability of Ghana’s educational system.
We’re one people. Ghana first.
