The Ghana Education Service has issued a stern warning to all basic schools, both private and public school over illegal BECE registration.
According to the Ghana Education Service, some heads of schools register some candidates from JHS 1 and JHS 2 students for the BECE. This means they tend to skip the students for form three(3) lessons.
Some believe that no matter the aggregate they get from the BECE, they will eventually get a school at the secondary level.
According to the Ghana Education, any school that is caught in this act will face the wrath of the law. Such students will also be punished severally. GES ensures fairness at all levels of education. Any student that wish to write the BECE must pass through JHS 1, 2 and 3.

It is against the rules of WAEC and GES to(SHS):
- Register students who have not been enrolled in senior high school from their first year through to the third year and do not have the required continuous assessment records. The grading for the WASSCE (SC) is 70% external examination score and 30% continuous assessment score. Students who for one reason or the other transferred from one school to the other should have evidence of the necessary continuous assessment records;
- Register students who are not in final year or are not bona fide students of the school in question. We have received intelligence reports of some students in public schools who move from their schools to private schools to register for the examination because of assurances of obtaining good grades by these schools;
