The Executive Secretary of the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NaCCA) has said the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) has outlived its usefulness and will soon be scrapped from the educational system.

Dr Prince Hamid Armah says “The nomenclature called BECE will be scrapped totally…an exam will be used to do placements going forward.

A criterion reference system will be used as BECE has outlived its usefulness in this country,” he said on Accra-based Starr FM, Thursday.

According to him, there is enough evidence to support the need to introduce a new approach to testing the quality of teaching that pupils receive.
