A General Assembly meeting of the New Juaben South Municipal Assembly in Eastern Region held on Monday was marked by heated exchanges following concerns over the poor performance of candidates in the 2024 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE).
Out of more than 2,000 candidates presented by both public and private basic schools across the municipality, only one candidate from a public school attained Grade Six—the highest grade recorded in the municipality which is the Regional Capital.
Raising the issue, the Assembly Member for Ada Electoral Area, Freeman Kojo Gadri, expressed deep concern about the results, questioning why a municipality that serves as a regional capital could record such low top-grade performance.
Fellow members shared in his view of argument and shared diverse views on the issue and how it can be resolved going forward.
