GES cautions against unauthorised BECE registration fees

The Ghana Education Service (GES) has reacted to allegations on social media that some heads of basic schools were imposing unauthorised Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) registration fees on final-year students.
“Management wishes to emphasize that these fees are unauthorized, and all Heads are advised to cease this practice immediately,” GES warned.
“Regional Directors are instructed to alert District Directors to monitor the situation and caution all Heads of Basic schools,” it instructed.
“Any Head who has collected such unauthorized fees is required to refund the monies promptly. Failure to comply will result in sanctions,” GES said.
“Heads of Basic schools are reminded that late registration of candidates will not be permitted. Therefore, all eligible candidates must be registered within the stipulated registration period set by the West African Examinations Council (WAEC),” GES underlined.
The statement dated February 12, 2025, signed by Cassandra Twum Ampofo, Head of Public Relations Unit (GES), concluded, “The general public is informed to take note.”
