Desist from
examination malpractices – Tackie-Komme
Accra, April 19, Ghanadot/GNA - Candidates
for this year’s Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE)
in the Ashiedu-Keteke Sub Metropolitan Area have been
advised to put their trust in God and desist from
malpractices during the examination.
The call was made by Mr Jonathan Nii Tackie-Komme, MP for
the Odododiodioo constituency during a church service at the
Mission to Nations International Ministries at Palladium in
Accra on Saturday. The service was also to encourage the
students to excel in the examination.
The MP, who presented a Mathematical Set and pens to each of
the candidates, advised them to be bold and adhere to the
rules and regulations of the examination, which begins on
Monday.
Mr Tackie-Komme advised the candidates to concentrate on
what they had been taught by their teachers and not to
listen to their friends who approach them that they had the
questions of the examinations.
He advised them to avoid taking “foreign materials” into the
examination room and also listen and obey instructions by
the invigilators to avoid the cancellation of their papers.
Speaking to newsmen later, the MP said this was the third
year of such collaboration with the Mission.
He said apart from the presentation of the pens and
mathematics sets to the final year students, he had also
been organizing night classes for them and that there had
been an improvement in the performance of students from the
area since the initiative started.
Mr Tackie-Komme pointed out that before his intervention he
had to go round looking for placement for candidates from
the area in Senior High Schools but the situation had
improved since most of the students now pass well and does
not need his intervention.
Mr Daniel Okai, Constituency Chairman of National Democratic
Congress advised school children in the area to take their
studies seriously to become successful in future.
He urged them to listen to their teachers and take active
interest in extra curricula activities as well as
cultivating reading habits.
Present at the service were constituency executives of the
party, teachers, officials of the Mission and some parents
and guardians of the students.
