2023 BECE Grading System.

The BECE Grading system has been designed in a way that there is nothing like ‘Fail’ on the result slip of candidates. Unlike the WASSCE which shows ‘FAIL’ for marks less than 35, BECE shows LOWEST grade. This clearly means that there is nothing like fail in BECE.

Below is the grading system for the 2033 BECE.

  1. 90-100 is graded as 1. It is the HIGHEST grade in the grading system.
  2. 80-89, the second category in this classification is graded as 2, GRADE A. it is denoted as HIGHER.
  3. 70-79, is grade 3, a B+ and is described as HIGH.
  4. 60 -69 is grade 4, GRADE B, described as HIGH AVERAGE.
  5. 55 – 60 is GRADE C+, classified as 5 and described as AVERAGE.
  6. LOW AVERAGE is a description of marks falling between 50-54 and GRADE C; number 6 in the grading system.
  7. Any mark ranging between 40-49 is considered as GRADE D+ and number 7; described as LOW
  8. 35-39 is GRADE E which is number 8, described as LOWER in the Stanine grading system.
  9. GRADE F, 9 characterized by 9 is the LOWEST grade, which falls between 0-34

WAEC sometimes uses the Stanine grading system for BECE. It is norm-referenced, meaning, the result’s architecture is pre-determined. Under Stanine, the % of candidates who will obtain Grade 1-9 is virtually fixed, so you must justify your inclusion into that percentage.

2023 BECE RELEASE DATE

It is expected that the 2023 BECE results will be released in November, 2023. Probably, Monday, 20th November, 2023.

The Ghana Education Service is currently fishing out JHS 1 and JHS 2 students who wrote the 2023 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE).

During the registration of the 2023 BECE, GES and WAEC clearly stated that both the WASSCE and BECE are for candidates or students who are in their third/final year. It is therefore against the rules and regulations of the examination for schools to register students who are in JHS 1 or JHS 2.

JHS 1 And JHS 2 Students Who Wrote 2023 BECE In Trouble; Here’s Why

Currently, the Ghana Education Service (GES) has issued a directive to all regional, metro, and district directors of education, requesting them to furnish the GES with a list of attending and absent Junior High School (JHS) 1 and JHS 2 students, particularly during the 2023 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) week, scheduled for Monday, August 7th to Friday, August 11th, 2023.

Furthermore, the GES has made it mandatory for all school administrators, whether in public or private schools, to provide the names of JHS one and two students.

Additional information obtained by Graphic Online indicates that the GES is also seeking attendance records for all JHS 2 students during the 2021/2022 academic year. Essentially, the GES aims to monitor the attendance of students who participated in the 2023 BECE in August and were enrolled in the 2021/2022 academic year.

In response to this development, some education experts have informed Graphic Online that the GES’s objective is to identify students in Forms One and Two who may have advanced without the necessary qualifications and took the 2023 BECE. As a result, such students could face disqualification from entering Senior High School in Form One. Additionally, the GES might impose sanctions on both the students and the school administrators who facilitated this action.

“Management of the Ghana Education Service (GES) requests for the submission of names of absentees of Junior High School (public and private) Form One and Form Two (JHS1 & JHS2) students of 2022/2023 academic year from 7th to 11th August, 2023. Heads of Junior High Schools are directed to submit the names of JHS1 and JHS2 students who were absent from school from 7th to 11th August, 2023 of the 2022/2023 academic year to accompanied by their class attendance registers for verification. their respective Metro/Municipal/District Directors of Education

Metro/Municipal/District Directors of Education are to compile and submit the names of students to the Director-General through their respective Regional Directors of Education by close of work on Wednesday, 18th October, 2023.

The data should be submitted through the following email address: schoolsandinstructions@ges.gov.gh or Whatsapp number 0244 981 006

By this letter, Regional Directors are kindly requested to communicate this information to the Metro/Municipal/District Directors of Education to inform all Heads of Junior High Schools and ensure that the data is submitted within the stipulated deadline.” GES wrote.
