I agree with you. How can we be subjecting our young kids to this kind of mental torture. Something urgently needs to be done about this
What kind of stupid comparison is this. No wonder University graduates these days are dummies if they are taught by dummies like this. You believe in people waiting until exam period before they learn.
What a shame
You are a fool. What an idiot??? When intellectuals are talking fools like you should just stand aside and listen.
I completely agree with you.
All our leaders have either lived or been to Europe and other developed countries b4, where have they seen kids below 18 ever external exams?More often it's after 18 when they are about to go to university.
Yes, in Germany for instance there's not a single external exams from Primary 1 to university. All exams are internal and marked by the class teachers / lecturers.
Moreover, final exams do not consider the performance of f ...

Ah I wonder, he has just arrived in this country,
He himself may have written this Basic exams oo
I have spoken about this thing for a very long time, but no one has heard me because I am a nobody. Thank you Sir, for raising this matter for national attention. It's really cruel and backward. A paper per day is reasonable.

NPP na gyime. In the 90s students were writing 12 subjects in 5 days
It is true. Writing 10 subjects for 5days needs to be reviewed.
It is shameful we have all remained quiet for this mental torture on poor JHS pupils to go on for over 3 decades. It doesn't make sense at all to continue to subject our future leaders to such 'cruelty'. Why can't the exams ...

Were you there in the days of HALL ? The Middle School Leaving Certificate of 4 subjects (English, maths ,geography and history) were written in one day, before BECE came. And it was always a great day. Babies
The HALL you are talking about, all the questions were objectives. It cannot be compared to the current BECE
