Basic
Education
Certificate
Examination
(BECE)
candidates
in
the
North
Tongu
District
have
been
instructed
not
to
wear
shoes
or
belts
during
their
exams.
This
directive,
issued
according
to
officers
from
Ghana
Education
Service
(GES),
aims
to
curb
examination
malpractice.
They
were
however
allowed
to
wear
sandals.
At
St.
Kizito
Senior
High
School,
one
of
the
designated
examination
centers
in
the
district,
GES
officials
emphasized
the
necessity
of
strict
adherence
to
this
directive.
According
to
the
officials,
the
prohibition
of
shoes
and
belts
is
a
preventive
measure
designed
to
maintain
the
integrity
of
the
examination
process
by
minimizing
opportunities
for
cheating.
However,
the
directive
has
not
been
well-received
by
all
students.
Some
candidates
have
expressed
discomfort
and
dissatisfaction,
noting
that
they
are
unaccustomed
to
wearing
sandals
and
dressing
without
belts.
They
argue
that
these
changes
have
negatively
affected
their
comfort
and
concentration
during
the
exams.
Despite
these
concerns,
the
GES
officials
remain
firm
on
the
enforcement
of
the
directive,
underscoring
its
importance
in
ensuring
a
fair
and
credible
examination
environment.
