The Member of Parliament for Atiwa East constituency in the Eastern Region, Abena Osei Asare has emphasised the need for candidates writing the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) to remain focused in life as they cross their first major academic hurdle.
Advising the candidates during her monitoring of some centres in her constituency, Abena Osei Asare, who doubles as a Minister of State at the Finance ministry reminded the candidates to show appreciation to parents, teachers and their communities for playing various roles in investing in their education.
"Remain focused in life because this is the first major academic hurdle you are crossing to the Senior High level. I am convinced that you will make it and benefit from the Free SHS programme just like your senior colleagues.”
"I want to urge you to appreciate your parents, teachers and the community for what they have been doing to bring you to where you have gotten to. Please don't disappoint them, eschew all social vices even as you finish and go home until your results are ready to move on to benefit from the Free SHS Nana Addo and Bawumia introduced" she stated
The nationwide exam started on Monday, July 8 through to Friday, July, 12.
After the monitoring, the MP presented 600 dual desks to the Atiwa East District Education directorate to be distributed among twenty (20) basic schools in the area.
She hopes the support will create a conducive learning environment for the children and last long.
“I want to plead with you to take good care of the desks since nowadays they are expensive to purchase. Let's do our best to ensure good maintenance culture “she appealed.
