The Ghana Education Service (GES) office in the Keta Municipality of the Volta Region has advised candidates who have completed the 2026 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) to uphold discipline and good conduct as they prepare for Senior High School (SHS).
The Service said the BECE should be viewed as the first step in both academic and personal development, and urged candidates to prepare themselves morally, financially and socially for the next stage of their education.
Mr Ferdinand Amuzu, the Public Relations Officer of the Keta Municipal GES, in a post-examination message, congratulated the candidates for completing the examination and entreated them to remain focused while awaiting their results.
“It is always a good feeling after the final examination, but I will urge our young ones to be very careful with friends,” he said.
He encouraged the BECE graduates to avoid bad company, support their parents where possible to raise funds for SHS, and prioritise their safety and education.
“They are our future leaders, and we must safeguard their lives and discipline,” Mr Amuzu stated.
He stressed that success in life went beyond passing examinations, adding that discipline, attitude, and good character developed at this stage would determine future achievements.
“Comport yourselves well wherever you find yourselves. This is step one in life; the discipline and attitude you develop now will determine how far you go in life.”he added.
Mr Amuzu explained that SHS life came with higher academic demands, increased independence and new social environments that required maturity, determination and hard work.
He warned that candidates who became complacent after BECE often struggled to adjust to SHS academic rigour, resulting in poor performance, especially during the first year.
