Here are the predicted topics for the 2025 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) in Career Technology, based on Education-News Consults. Mocks for the examination year, an analysis of the mock questions, the Common Core Curriculum for Basic 7-9 learners in Ghana, and trends in online educational resources.

Let us look at the sample questions first then the topics and answers

iii. Recycling: The process of converting waste materials into new products to prevent waste of potentially useful materials.

*6. (b) Copy and complete the table below.*

Place of Work One Marking Out Tool One Cutting Out Tool One Measuring Tool

(i) Wood work Marking gauge Chisel or saw Tape measure

(ii) Metal work Scriber Cutting torch or hacksaw Micrometer or caliper

(iii) Building Site Chalk line Masonry saw Tape measure or surveyor’s tape

*6. (c) (i) State two (2) ways to care for and maintain tools and equipment.*

2. Proper storage to protect against damage and loss.

*(ii) Mention two (2) reasons why tools and equipment are cared for.*

1. To extend their lifespan and ensure they remain functional.

2. To maintain safety and efficiency in the workplace.

The answers provided address the questions posed in the exam paper, covering the identification and use of various tools, care and maintenance practices, and explanations of waste management concepts.

The predictions are categorised under the specific substrands of the Career Technology curriculum.

Part A: Core Skills and Knowledge

This section of the BECE will likely focus on foundational concepts that integrate various aspects of Career Technology. The compulsory questions will probably test a broad understanding of the subject.

Substrand 1: Health and Safety

Environmental Health: Expect questions on the definition of environmental health, the consequences of poor sanitation (e.g., pollution, disease outbreak), and ways to maintain a healthy environment. This aligns with the provided mock question about the “Dirty-Avenue community.”
Personal Hygiene and Food Safety: Topics will likely include the importance of good grooming, especially in food handling, and the benefits of maintaining personal hygiene to prevent illness. The mock question about personal hygiene and food safety is a strong indicator.
Workshop/Workplace Safety: Questions will likely focus on the importance of a safe working environment, specific safety practices, and the use of personal protective equipment (PPE). The scenario-based question about a safety officer at “Beersheba Limited” points to this.

Substrand 2: Materials and Tools for Production

Properties and Classification of Materials: Expect questions on the differences between ferrous and non-ferrous metals, the concept of alloys, and the properties of resistant materials. The question about “Nativity Limited” producing metal products is a key example.
Tools and Equipment: Candidates should be familiar with a wide range of tools for woodworking and metalworking, including their specific uses, and maintenance. The mock question about mixing up woodworking and metalworking tools is a classic BECE-style question.
Finishing: A clear understanding of the distinction between “finishing” (the process) and “finishes” (the substances used) will be crucial. The question posed to an artisan working with Ibrahim Mahama highlights this.

Substrand 3: Design Process and Communication

The Design Process: Students should be prepared to outline and explain the steps of the design process, from identifying a need to creating a final product. The question about creating a statue of Dr. Kwame Nkrumah is a good example.
Technical Drawing: Knowledge of different types of lines used in technical drawing (e.g., continuously thick lines, continuously thin lines) and their functions will likely be tested. The direct question on line types in the mock exam is a strong hint. Perspective drawing, particularly two-point perspective, is also a probable topic.
Testing and Evaluation: Questions may require students to explain methods for assessing the quality and authenticity of an artifact or product, as seen in the Kwame Nkrumah museum scenario.

Part B: Practical Applications and Enterprises

This part of the exam will likely focus on the practical application of Career Technology skills in various vocational areas. The compulsory questions will probably involve a multi-step, application-based scenario.

Substrand 4: Food and Nutrition

Food Preparation and Cooking Methods: Expect detailed questions on the preparation of local dishes, such as banku and koose. Students should know the ingredients and step-by-step procedures. A variety of cooking methods (e.g., boiling, frying, grilling) and cooking terms (e.g., chopping, beating, parboiling) are also key areas.
Nutrition and Health: Questions will likely cover the different classes of food (energy-giving, protective, bodybuilding), the importance of a balanced diet, and the health consequences of poor nutrition. The scenario of the student with an imbalanced diet is a probable question type.
Meal Planning and Service: Topics like portion control, table setting, and the difference between various meal types (e.g., snack vs. brunch) are likely to be included.

Substrand 5: Textiles and Fashion

Sewing and Garment Construction: A thorough knowledge of sewing machines (hand vs. electric), the importance of accurate body measurements, and seam types (conspicuous and inconspicuous) will be essential. Edge finishing techniques and the use of tools like a seam ripper are also important.
Fabric and Fiber Technology: While not heavily featured in the provided mocks, basic knowledge of fabric production techniques like crocheting could be a minor part of a question.

Substrand 6: Entrepreneurship

Identifying Business Opportunities: Students should be able to explain different ways to identify entrepreneurial opportunities within a community.
Types of Business Enterprises: Questions distinguishing between micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises and the factors needed to set them up are likely.
Business Operations: Basic concepts like marketing strategies (e.g., online marketing) and profit sharing could be tested in scenario-based questions.

Key Takeaways for the 2025 BECE

Integrated Approach: The questions will be a blend different substrands. For example, a food preparation question might include aspects of health and safety.
Scenario-Based Questions: Many questions are presented as real-life scenarios, requiring students to apply their knowledge practically.
Emphasis on Local Context: The use of Ghanaian dishes (banku, koose), personalities (Ibrahim Mahama, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah), and place names (Kokompe) indicates that the exam will be culturally relevant.
Clear Definitions: Students must be able to explain key terms clearly and concisely (e.g., environmental health, seaming, finishing).
Practical Skills Knowledge: While the exam is written, it heavily tests the knowledge behind practical skills, such as tool identification, procedural steps in cooking or sewing, and drawing techniques.
