The 2022 BECE for School date comes after the not-for-profit-making organization (WAEC) and the management of the Ghana Education Service (GES) meet to decide on a suitable month to administer the national examination.

WAEC in a statement copied to EducationWeb said only third-year students in various public and private Junior High Schools (JHSs) across the country will be considered for the forthcoming 2022 BECE for School registration.

Explaining the soon to commence 2022 BECE School registration process, the African Examinations Council said May 3 to June 10, 2022, will be used for capturing eligible final year students’ information, subject selection and pictures.

Downloading of CASS software, capturing of candidates’ scores and subsequent uploading of data online the management of the not-for-profit-making organization said will start from June 27, 2022, to August 12, 2022.
