A former Rector of the Ghana Institute of Management and Administration (GIMPA) has argued for a reduction of the number of subjects pupils at the Basic School level are examined on.
Professor Stephen Adei says the current subject of ten (10) that pupils are examined on at the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) need to be reduced to four (4) namely English Language, Mathematics, Integrated Science and Social Studies.
“Ghana’s basic education has virtually collapsed because we don’t give the children the right preparation and it is about time we reduce the number of subjects they are examined on to four core competencies,” he told Samson Anyenini Lardy, host of Joy FM/MultiTV’s news analysis, Newsfile.
