The Member of Parliament for Weija-Gbawe Constituency in the Greater Accra Region, Jerry Ahmed Shaib, has officially launched the MP’s BECE Mock Examination 2025, a major initiative aimed at boosting the academic preparedness of final-year Basic Education Certificate Examination candidates across the constituency.
Speaking at a ceremony held on Monday, April 28, and attended by the Municipal Director of Education, the Municipal Chief Executive, Queen Mothers of Weija and Gbawe, head teachers, school administrators, parents, and students, Mr. Shaib highlighted the critical importance of thorough preparation in achieving academic success.
“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world,” he said, quoting Nelson Mandela.
The MP’s BECE Mock Examination initiative will offer every final-year student access to standardised practice exams, marked and assessed by experienced educators.
Participation is completely free, ensuring that no student is left behind due to financial limitations.
Highlighting the challenges faced by many learners, Mr. Shaib noted that even brilliant students often underperform because of limited exposure and a lack of structured exam practice.
He explained that the new initiative aims to level the playing field, giving all students, regardless of background, an equal opportunity to succeed.
As part of the programme, schools that perform exceptionally well in both the mock examinations and the final BECE will receive special awards and packages.
This incentive is designed to foster healthy academic competition and to motivate both teachers and students to strive for excellence.
This initiative is intended to foster healthy academic competition and inspire both teachers and students to pursue excellence.
“This project is a demonstration of our shared commitment to the future of our children and reflects the value we place on education as the true cornerstone of development, opportunity, and empowerment,” Mr. Shaib stated.
He expressed his appreciation to the Ghana Education Service, head teachers, teachers, parents, constituency executives, and all stakeholders who helped bring the initiative to life.
Mr. Shaib urged students to seize the opportunity, work hard, and believe in their limitless potential.
“Prepare well, perform well — mock exams pave the way for excellence,” he advised.
