Nkwanta South Students Cite Limited Learning Time Ahead of BECE

Some candidates sitting for the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) in Nkwanta South have raised concerns over inadequate preparation time, attributing the challenge to ongoing unrest in the area.

Speaking to the media after completing their first English Language paper, the students said the conflict disrupted academic activities and hindered effective study in the lead-up to the exams.

Several candidates noted that the instability resulted in irregular school attendance and limited opportunities for revision, making preparation more difficult than anticipated.

Despite these setbacks, many of the students expressed optimism about their performance, saying they remain hopeful of success in the examination.

They indicated that they did their best to prepare under the circumstances and are relying on the knowledge they were able to gain despite the constrained learning period.

The situation highlights the broader impact of insecurity on education, particularly for final-year students who depend on stable academic schedules, consistent instruction, and a supportive learning environment to adequately prepare for national examinations.
