The West African Examination Council (WAEC) has revealed the date for the 2024 BECE which will be written from 8th to 12th July, 2024. However, before any candidate could write the exams, he or she needs to be registered. So when will the 2024 BECE Registration start?
Officially, WAEC has not opened the registration portal for the 2024 BECE. However, just as it was done in 2023, the 2024 BECE registration is expected to start in April and end on May, 2024.
The BECE for School Candidates is a school examination and is available to students in the third/final year of Junior High School only. It is therefore against the rules and regulations of the examination for schools to engage in the following activities;
- Solicit for students and advertise the BECE in any form e.g. in the print, electronic or social media;
- Register students who have not been enrolled in junior high school from their first year through to the third year and do not have the required continuous assessment records. The grading for the BECE is 70% external examination score and 30% continuous assessment score. Students who for one reason or the other transferred from one school to the other should have evidence of the necessary continuous assessment records;

- Register students who are not in final year or are not bona fide students of the school in question. We have received intelligence reports of some students in public schools who move from their schools to private schools to register for the examination because of assurances of obtaining good grades by these schools.
The BECE is a standardized test taken by students in Ghana after completing Junior High School (JHS). The exam assesses students’ knowledge in various subjects, including English Language, Mathematics, Integrated Science, and Social Studies. It’s an important milestone for students as it determines their placement into Senior High School (SHS) or vocational training institutions.
