No registration fees for 2018 BECE candidates

Registration fees for the 2018 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) candidates in public schools have been absorbed by the government.

“Please take note of the following issues: re-sitters are to register for the BECE for private candidates; the registration fee per candidate is GHS75 and applicable to candidate in private junior high schools. Government will absorb the registration fees for candidates in the public junior high schools,” a statement by West African Examination Council (WAEC) dated November 6, 2017 said.

“Please ensure that the correct type of school (private or public) is indicated during the registration of the candidates as this has implication on payment of fees for the examination.

“Kindly provide the Council with a list of private and public junior high schools in your district to enable us to validate input by the schools. The Council will nullify entries of private schools that select school type wrongly and thereby do not pay fees,” the statement added.
