What becomes of WAEC? Will the system be dissolved
My concern is about the languages, because at the JHS level there are English language, Ghanaian language and French. Which ones will be compulsory?
Please when is the CCP program to be rolled over at the SHS? I mean when is it starting at the SHS level?
The current JHS one who just vacated were the pioneers of the new curriculum till SHS. But now, the current Basic 6 going to JHS in Jan 2022 will be the pioneers of this no BECE but common entrance exams to SHS2 and high school diploma after SHS3.
Please I want to know we that completed long ago and what to rewrite to better our Grade what do we have to do please
Please complete which level? If it’s JHS, you can check online for dates on BECE rewrite centers and payment options. If it’s WASSCE to, you can google online for Nov/Dec dates and centers.
I am food and nutrition and management in living teacher,in this case ,what syllabus will I be using for basic 10 which is the SHS1
We are quick to change names of certificates and make them look big yet they are mere papers without the right values. No wonder we have to depend on prison inmates from China, Cuba Korea and the rest to fix our roads and gutters.
Focus on skills training ok, that is the driving gears of the economy.
How many hours did you do in the elementary school during your time. Why do you selfishly want these poor children to do eight hours of continuous studies.
How many hours is the listening span of a learner/person? Your revam in the education sector (CCP) is like a square peg in a round hole, wai.
So we the seniors in shs right now will we write wascce or…
It is said that wassce is now going to be replaced by university entrance examination aside awarding them deploma.how? Is that they are going to pick university of their choices and write the exams without applying?
We commend the online recruitment system for the wonderful job they’re doing for the nation. But since it is a human institution there would be some few setbacks in their duties.
Having said that, I want to suggest to this reputable institution to consider if they could possibly allow applicants to use their transcripts for the online job application, if their certificates are not ready to be used. I’m raising a concern on this because, some of the applicants may face the challenges of not securing their certificates to apply for available jobs on time, and that is one of the challenges I have mentioned.
I’m appealing to the authorities in charge of this institution to have a look at this suggestion, and see if something could be done about it.
How would SHS 1 be called B10
This will be easy for us without any hindrance.
