Saltpond (C/R), April 13, GNA - The Mfantseman Municipal Assembly is to support needy students who perform well in the on-going Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE), Mr Henry Kweku Hayfron, the Municipal Chief Executive, has said.
He said this when he visited some of the BECE centres in the municipality to encourage the students to give off their best. Mr Hayfron urged them not to panic but to take the examination just as the end-of-term class test they had been doing over the years. "Do not be in a hurry to submit your scripts as there will not be any mark for a student who finishes his or her paper first," he said.
Mr Hayfron cautioned them against indulging in activities which could lure them into immoral practices after the examination. He told them to remember that the BECE was just the beginning of life and that they must not allow it to jeopardize what was ahead for them.
Mr Hayfron said the two Members of Parliament in the municipality, Mr Aquinas Tawiah Quansah and Mr George Kuntu Blankson and Plan Ghana, a non-governmental organization working in the municipality, were looking for students with good aggregates to award scholarship to further their education. He told them 93the ball is in your courts, you must play it well to score the goal". Some of the centres visited were Ekumfi Essarkyir Ahmadiyya Senior High School and Saltpond Methodist High Senior School.
