Sampa, Ghana — May 5, 2026 — A total of 400 candidates participating in the 2026 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) at the Nafana Presbyterian Senior High School examination center in Jaman North District received mathematical sets provided by Hon. Eric Adjei. The distribution was intended to support students during the examination period.
The donation was made during the examination period to address challenges some students and families face in obtaining required examination materials.
According to Hon. Eric Adjei, the provision of mathematical sets aligns with his stated commitment to supporting education and ensuring that all students have access to necessary examination tools.
Recipients noted that mathematical sets are required for subjects including mathematics and technical drawing, which are part of the BECE curriculum. Some candidates reported that receiving the materials addressed a practical need during the examination period.
Local education stakeholders described the initiative as a practical measure to address disparities in access to examination materials among students from varying socio-economic backgrounds.
Community members indicated that the donation underscores the role of collective responsibility in supporting education, particularly given ongoing financial constraints faced by some families in providing school supplies.
Observers have encouraged additional support from individuals, organizations, and leaders for educational initiatives within their communities. They note that such contributions may influence learning outcomes and broader development.
The 2026 BECE is currently underway across Ghana, with thousands of junior high school students participating in the nationwide examination, which serves as a key requirement for progression to senior high school.
Education advocates emphasize that continued community support, alongside government efforts, remains critical to ensuring equitable access to quality education for all students.
