The Adentan Municipal Education Directorate registered an outstanding 99.6% turnout for the 2025 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE), with only 19 of the 4,853 registered candidates absent across 15 centres. Among the registrants, 2,819 appeared as private candidates while 2,034 did so under public school sponsorship—further highlighting robust community involvement. The gender balance was nearly equal, with 2,474 boys and 2,379 girls appearing for the exams.
Deyoungter Centre led registration with 461 candidates (215 boys and 246 girls), whereas Christ Faith Mission “A” recorded the leanest group of 143 candidates (72 boys and 71 girls). Notable centres including Tower Hamlet A, Hydeson, and Victory Presby “A” achieved full attendance, underscoring the joint efforts of pupils, parents, and school authorities during the exam period.
A memorable feature of the day was the interactive session led by the Member of Parliament for the Adentan Constituency, Hon. Mahamed Adamu Ramadan. During his visit, MP Ramadan addressed the BECE candidates, commending their hard work and emphasizing the pivotal role of education in shaping their futures. He stressed that such exemplary participation not only reflects personal diligence but also the community’s collective commitment to progress. “Your dedication today sets a strong foundation for tomorrow—to innovate, lead, and overcome future challenges,” he remarked, inspiring both the students and educators alike.
Municipal Chief Executive Hon. Ella Christine Esinam Nongo expressed her admiration for the turnout, stating, “Such exemplary participation is a testament to our collective commitment to education. I commend parents for their unwavering support, teachers for meticulous preparation, and examination officers for ensuring a secure, conducive environment for every child.” Meanwhile, Adentan Municipal Education Director, Madam Gifty Mussey, highlighted the stringent measures taken to uphold the integrity of the exams: “Our supervisors maintained rigorous standards and invigilation teams prioritized candidates’ welfare and fair play, resulting in one of the most impressive attendance records among Greater Accra municipalities.”
Despite nationwide challenges such as rising instances of malpractice reported by WAEC and isolated delays in exam material deliveries due to vehicle breakdowns, Adentan’s BECE process was smooth. Teachers’ careful preparation and tight security protocols at exam centers ensured that attempts at malpractice were effectively mitigated.
With the assessments now behind them, stakeholders are turning to the marking and result collation process, with the official results slated for an August release. Preparations for remedial workshops and accelerated learning programmes are already underway to further support those who may need additional assistance.
The collaborative spirit seen on examination day—reinforced by the encouraging words of MP Mahamud Ramadan and other officials—has set a high benchmark for educational excellence in the municipality, signaling a bright future for Adentan’s youth.
