2022 BECE
The West African Examinations Council will administer the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) for School and Private Candidates, 2022 from 17th to 21st October, 2022. This year, two groups of BECE candidates (School and Private), will for the first time, take the examination at the same period. This is due to the consistently low entries for the BECE for Private Candidates over the years.
A total number of 552,276 candidates from 18,501 schools will take the BECE for School Candidates (SC) at 2,023 centres throughout the country. The entry figure is made up of 276,988 males and 275,288 females. The number of candidates that registered for this year’s BECE (SC) is 3.48% less than the 2021 entry figure of 572,167.
