The Ghana Education Service (GES) has kicked against reports of unauthorised BECE registration fees being charged by some Heads of Basic Schools in the country.
In a release, GES warned all Heads of Basic Schools against taking unauthorised BECE registration fees, noting that head engaging in such an act would be sanctioned.
“The Ghana Education Service (GES) has taken notice of allegations on social media that some Heads of Basic schools are imposing unauthorized 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. Regional Directors are instructed to alert District Directors to monitor the situation and caution all Heads of Basic schools. Any Head who has collected such unauthorized fees is required to refund the monies promptly. Failure to comply will result in sanctions,” parts of the GES release noted.
Meanwhile, GES has reminded Heads of Basic schools that late registration of candidates will not be permitted.
Heads of Basic Schools are, therefore, to ensure that all eligible candidates are registered within the stipulated registration period set by the West African Examinations Council (WAEC).
