The Akrofuom District Chief Executive, Dr. Maurice Jonas Woode, wished the candidates writing this year’s Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) a peaceful and successful examination.
Dr. Woode, in conjunction with the Akrofuom Education Directorate led by Mr. George Sarfo Kantanka, visited the 813 candidates at their examination centers on Monday, August 7, 2023, to inspire them and boost their confidence.
In his motivational address, the District Chief Executive encouraged the candidates to believe in themselves and feel comfortable at their centers.
He further advised them to not give up on furthering their education, as there is no justifiable reason to do so at this age.
Dr. Woode inspired the candidates to take full advantage of the Free Senior High School Program introduced by the government by passing well to get into their dream schools.
He also challenged them to excel in the examination and become beneficiaries of Alex Blankson’s “Let’s Go To School Project,” which provides trunks, chop boxes, and mattresses for brilliant but needy students.
The Akrofuom District Chief Executive motivated the candidates to do their best in the examination as a befitting send-off gift for Mr. George Sarfo Kantanka, who is being transferred to Asante Akyem Central (Konongo) as the Municipal Director of Education.
In his introductory address, Mr. Kantanka praised Dr. Woode for his unwavering support to the Education Directorate, especially in terms of infrastructure.
He commended Dr. Woode and the Akrofuom District Assembly for funding the District School Performance Appraisal Meeting (SPAM) and BECE orientation for all the candidates.
