He called on the candidates to take their studies seriously and reminded those writing the BECE in the Ellembelle district that it was the first step of certification in their academic endeavour and served as a springboard for their future and self-actualization.
This was contained in a statement signed and issued by Dr Sipa-Adja Yankey and copied to Ghana News Agency.
Final year students in Junior High Schools across the country would commence their BECE from June 11 to 17, 2025.
The BECE is a mandatory requirement to gain admission into Senior High Schools in Ghana.
Dr Sipa Yankey, who is also a former Minister for Health and an indigene of Esiama, advised the candidates to stick to their books and concentrate on their studies as education held the key to a brighter future.
Dr Sipa Yankey admonished the candidates against unproductive behaviour, which would not augur well for their future career.
He, therefore, advised them to make good use of the internet for research purposes and stay away from wasting their time on watching pornographic materials and ungodly materials.
He reminded the candidates that their success in the BECE was crucial to the life ahead, especially as potential leaders of society.
