West African countries like Ghana and Nigeria have a Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE). The BECE results state whether a student is qualified for taking admission in a secondary and vocational school or not. In Ghana, this examination is conducted every year in June. Each year, the Ghana Examination Services (GES) verify and approve the students for attending the BECE. According to their policy, the students in the 3rd year of their junior high school are eligible to appear in BECE.
