Education Minister Haruna Iddrisu has appealed to the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) to expedite the release of the 2025 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) results.
He emphasized that early publication of the results would help alleviate the stress and nervousness experienced by students and their families.
The minister made this appeal during the 2025 WAEC Distinction Awards Ceremony held on Thursday, June 26. While praising WAEC and the Ghana Education Service (GES) for their successful administration of the exams, he highlighted the critical need for prompt results dissemination.
“I commend you on the smooth conduct of this year’s BECE. What we now expect is the swift release of results to ease the anxiety among students,” he remarked.
Additionally, Haruna Iddrisu announced plans to introduce new legislation aimed at reforming scholarship awards in Ghana. The proposed Ghana Scholarship Authority Bill, which he will present to Parliament on behalf of President John Dramani Mahama, seeks to address issues of favoritism in scholarship distribution.
He also called on Peter Nortsu Kotoe, Chairman of the Parliamentary Select Committee on Education, to back the bill when it comes before Parliament.
