2011 BECE Results: 9 Schools In Akyemansa Score Zero%
Nine Basic schools in the Akyemansa District of the Eastern Region scored zero per cent in this year’s Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE).
All the pupils presented for the examination scored aggregates 31 and above, the District Chief Executive, Mr. Tom Budu, has disclosed.
They are the Adubiase, Brenase, Brampa, Ofoase, Asuogya Apoli, Asabidie, Nyame Bekyere No.2 and Kwaboadi L/A Junior High Schools, and the Ayirebi Mispa Preparatory School
Briefing the District assembly at its second ordinary meeting at Ofoase, Mr. Budu said, “I received the results with shock because out of the 1,289 candidates presented for the BECE only 335 of them passed, representing 27 per cent”.
“This gloomy situation is however brightened by the fact that three other schools- the Elim Academy, Wisdom Preparatory and Akokoase Emmanuel Methodist JHS scored 100 per cent,” he emphasised.
According to the DCE the District Education Oversight Committee (DEOC) organised an emergency meeting after the results were release and made some recommendations to ensure improved performance in subsequent examinations as well as quality education in the district in general.
One of the recommendations was that there should be a mass transfer of the head teachers, teachers and circuit supervisors, in the district.
“The education sector should also expand the circuits to eight while the principles of the clinical supervision should be enforced,” he emphasised.
The DEOC again wants to be involved in the posting of national service and youth employment programme teaching assistants while asking the assembly to organise orientation courses for the School Management Committees, Parent-Teacher Associations, NYEP and NSS personnel.
The assembly has also been implored to devise incentive packages, to attract quality, dedicated and committed teachers to the area, as well as motivate the current ones, to perform.
Mr. Budu pointed out that both the district and the government had not relented in their efforts to upgrade the educational sector by rehabilitating school buildings, constructing new ones, and distributing about 1,040 dual and 800 mono desks to schools in the area.
He, therefore, appealed to parents to assist the assembly and the educational authorities to ensure that children in the area receive quality education because it is the only way by which they could develop fast.
