Deputy Director General of the Ghana Education Service (GES) in charge of Management Services , Prof Smile Gavua Dzisi has cautioned candidates of the 2025 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) against examination malpractice, stressing that the GES will not spare any victim.
Speaking to journalist after touring the Nima cluster of schools examination centre and other centres in Accra on June 11, Prof. Dzisi urged the candidates to solely rely on what they have learnt and not cheat in the exams.
“This year, we don’t want to tolerate any examination malpractice at all, no leakages. We are not going to spare anybody whatsoever.
