In the last 24 hours, the Ghana Education News portal has sighted a new 2025 BECE timetable making the rounds on social media and on the platforms of major education sector accounts. Per the new timetable, the BECE will start on Tuesday, 10th June, instead of the earlier date of Monday, 9th June, 2025. This means the BECE will break after Friday, 13th June’s papers and continue from Monday, 16th June, through to Tuesday, 17th June. This new timetable means that the 2025 examination will start with Social Studies and Computing on June 10th and not 9th.
According to our sources, WAEC has effected the above changes because the Eid ul Adha celebrations fall on 8th and 9th June, 2025. Our checks on this from Google show that the current Eid ul Adha dates fall on Fri, Jun 6, 2025 – Sat, Jun 7, 2025. Further checks from the Ministry of Interior’s portal show that the 2025 Eid ul-Adha dates have not been fixed since they are movable dates that can change.
A final check on WAEC’s portal for timetables revealed that the BECE date and calendar still on its website have the 9th June to 16th June date as the official date of the examination. There is no information on its X account indicating a change in the date for the 2025 BECE.

While the date may change as a result of the 2025 Eid ul-Adha, WAEC has not officially communicated any change in the start and end date of this year’s examination for final-year students in Junior High School.
Until WAEC makes any official statement regarding the change of date for the BECE, parents, candidates, teachers, and schools are urged to disregard such changes in the BECE timetable making rounds on social media.
Based on the above facts checked, we declare the new BECE timetable circulating as fake. You can download the WAEC timetable for the examination from here >>> TIME-TABLE-New-Curriculum-49
The Ghana Education News portal also calls on WAEC, the Ghana Education Service, and the Ministry of Education, in collaboration with the Ministry of Interior, to clear the air on the matter to help maintain some sanity in the information space as far as the 2025 BECE timetable is concerned
