In a bold move by the Ministry of Education, a new BECE placement cut-off grade has been announced for the year 2023 candidates. This cut-off grade will set a new benchmark for excellence and will ensure that only the best students make it to the secondary school level.
The new BECE placement cut-off grade for 2023 candidates will be 80%. This means that students who score 80% or higher in the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) will be guaranteed placement in a public senior high school of their choice. This is a significant increase from the previous cut-off grade of 70%.
This decision was made after careful consideration of the quality of education being provided at the secondary school level and the need for higher standards in the education sector. It is expected that this new cut-off grade will motivate students to work harder and strive for excellence in their academic pursuits.
However, the Ministry of Education is not only focused on the cut-off grade, but also on improving the quality of education being offered at the secondary school level. Efforts are being made to ensure that all schools are equipped with the necessary resources to provide quality education to students. This includes providing teachers with training and development programs, as well as ensuring that all schools have access to the latest educational technology.
In conclusion, the new BECE placement cut-off grade for 2023 candidates is a step in the right direction towards improving the education sector in Ghana. With this new benchmark for excellence, we can be sure that only the best and brightest students will make it to the secondary school level. We encourage all students to work hard and aim for the highest grades possible in order to secure their place in a public senior high school.
