Direct Alignment with Ghana’s Academic Transition
The National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NaCCA) recently phased out the long-standing Sackey J.A. and Darmani L. anthology (The Cock Crow), replacing it officially with The Beacon of Light for all Junior High Schools nationwide. This structural change means that the upcoming Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) in May 2027 will feature test items based on this text for the very first time.
Because The Beacon of Light is a completely fresh addition to the standard-based curriculum, there is currently no other specialized trial assessment or prep book of this kind available on the Ghanaian market. Secondary resource books matching the exact structural standards of the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) are virtually non-existent for this book, leaving schools, teachers, and parents scrambling for targeted preparatory materials.
Engineered for Students, Teachers, and Schools
This guide is specifically engineered to eliminate revision blind spots for Basic 7, 8, and 9 learners and teachers, hence acting as a definitive master plan for academic excellence.
Key Features of the Book:
Authentic WAEC-Standard Assessment Design: Features original, high-probability trial assessment mock papers structured explicitly to mirror the new WAEC testing format for the upcoming May 2027 BECE. The book provides challenging extract-based questions, objective test drills, and essay setups modeled strictly after the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NaCCA) Standard-Based Curriculum guidelines.
Rigorous, Examiner-Grade Marking Schemes: Supplies comprehensive, step-by-step answers and assessment score guides for every question. This layout allows English Language teachers and private examiners to seamlessly standardize class mock scoring, match official WAEC marking criteria, and identify candidate performance gaps instantly.
Deep Extract Insights & Textual Analysis: Breaks down the complete structural framework of the new anthology. It provides detailed breakdowns of critical plot lines, core thematic arcs, character motivations, and literary devices (such as imagery, personification, and metaphors) across all newly approved prose, drama, and poetry selections.
Time-Saving Teacher & School Toolkit: Built directly into a highly functional classroom guide to drastically eliminate lesson-planning fatigue. It equips schools and English departments with ready-made classroom assessment drills, reading comprehension exercises, and homework modules tailored specifically for Basic 7, 8, and 9 learners.
