Is the 2023 BECE Exams the last? In January 2023, numerous unconfirmed reports from JHS pupils, online platforms, and some teachers suggested the 2023 BECE exams to be the last of its kind.
The the rumors alleged that from 2024, JHS 3 pupils will automatically be sent to Senior High Schools across the country.

Now that the 2023 BECE is over, concerns about the 2024 BECE is in the public domain again.
However, We must know that WAEC or GES has not confirmed rumors suggesting there will be no BECE in 2024; until these institutions come out publicly to confirm the stoppage of BECE, 2024 BECE EXAMS May be written.
Again, the management of GES confirmed that 2023 JHS three students were the last batch of candidates who would write BECE under the current syllabus.
It said students promoted to JHS 2 this year would be the first candidates to write BECE in 2024 using the new standard-based curriculum.
The Head of the National Office of WAEC, Wendy Enyonam Addy-Lamptey, also urged the public to shed off any old ideas and thoughts that they might have about the BECE grading system.
She said the issue of the performance of candidates at the BECE had become very topical.
Mrs Addy-Lamptey said the discussion on the fundamentals of the BECE Grading System was an attempt by the council to bring further clarity on the BECE grading system to help stakeholders appreciate the performance of candidates much better and also to create mutual understanding between the council and its numerous publics.
That, she said, was also one of the ways to engage their stakeholders, which was one of the pillars of WAEC’s Five-Year Strategic Plan for 2023-2027, launched a few months ago.
“Let me use this opportunity to state that a final marking scheme is developed for each subject at the end of the Preliminary Coordination Meetings, and all the examiners use this marking scheme to mark the scripts of all candidates for that subject,” she stated.
Statements
“Indeed, such untrue statements about marking schemes and grading mislead members of the public and create unnecessary anxiety among school authorities, candidates, and their parents,” she said.
Will students write BECE in 2024?
As explained above, BECE Exams will be written in 2024. However, the exams will be based on the new Standard-Based Curriculum
As it is now, we do not know if the exams will take the same formats it has taken over the years; once preparations for the exams begin, WAEC and GES will update schools, teachers, and pupils on guidelines and new instructions if any.
Is BECE Cancelled?
No! BECE is not canceled, but the exams will be conducted based on the new GES Standard-Based Curriculum.
2023 BECE candidates were the last group to be assessed based on the Objective-based curriculum as stated by the GES
