BNI To Investigate BECE Leakage - Deputy Education Minister

The Deputy Minister in-charge of pre-tertiary education, Mr. Alex Kyeremeh has said the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI) has taken over investigations into the leakage of five subject papers in the ongoing Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE).

According to him, circumstances leading to the leakage must prevented – he also doubt if the West Africa Examination Council [WAEC] can solely investigate the issue as promised.

He was speaking on Citi FM after security experts says the magnitude of the leak could not have occurred without the connivance of some officials of the examination body.

WAEC announced the cancellation of five subject papers in the ongoing June 20015 BECE – papers void are Papers 2 of English Language; Religious and Moral Education; Integrated Science; Mathematics, and Social Studies.

This followed the discovery by the WAEC that those papers had leaked and gone viral on social media.

However, the leaked papers had been rescheduled to be re-taken on June 29 and 30, 2015.
