BECE Not Credible, Ghana Christian High Dropped It Over a Decade Ago: Prof. Stephen Adei

Renowned educationist Prof. Stephen Adei has revealed that his school, Ghana Christian International High School, stopped using the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) more than a decade ago as an admission requirement because of credibility concerns. Speaking on Joy FM’s Super Morning Show during a discussion on the Hotline Documentary: Dark World of BECE, Prof. Adei said the decision was driven by widespread cheating and malpractice. “For 11 years, Ghana Christian International High School in Accra has not used BECE as an entrance requirement because we don’t trust them,” he stated. He noted that although WAEC continues to introduce measures such as monitoring teams, arrests, and cancellation of results, the efforts remain inadequate. According to him, corruption within the system has weakened enforcement. He argued that cheating in exams reflects the broader moral decay in Ghana, citing political bribery, illegal […]

The Member of Parliament for Atebubu-Amantin, Sanja Nanja, has assured residents of Akokoa and Amantin that swift steps are being taken to restore peace following a violent incident linked to a land dispute.

President Mahama Commends Greater Accra Minister for Sakumo Ramsar Demolition and Sanitation Campaign

President John Dramani Mahama has praised Greater Accra Regional Minister, Linda Obenewaa Akweley Ocloo, for leading demolition exercises to remove illegal structures from the Sakumo Ramsar site. He described the initiative as a difficult but necessary decision to protect wetlands and uphold environmental laws. Speaking at the relaunch of National Sanitation Day on Saturday, September 6, 2025, in Ogbojo, Accra, Mahama stressed that local authorities should have acted earlier to prevent encroachment. He warned that district officials who fail to enforce regulations risk dismissal, emphasizing that negligence has long contributed to the degradation of the Ramsar site. “The filling of the Ramsar site was not a one-day event; it had been going on for a long time.

Amb. Gifty Nyarko Urges Inclusive, Climate-Resilient Urban Development in Africa

At the inaugural Global Scholarship for Sustainable Built Environment Research Conference (SURE_BUILT), held from September 4–5, 2025, at the University of Johannesburg, Ambassador Gifty Nyarko, African Ambassador for Inclusive Urban Governance and Climate-Resilient Development, called for a radical shift in how African cities are researched, planned, and built. Speaking to scholars, engineers, architects, urban planners, policymakers, and development partners, she urged a move toward African-led, inclusive, and community-centered approaches to urban development. “The question is not whether Africa is urbanizing — but whose knowledge is shaping that urban future, and whose voices are being left behind,” she said. Nyarko warned that African cities remain disproportionately vulnerable to climate change, inequality, and exclusion, which cannot be solved through fragmented disciplines or externally imposed frameworks. She emphasized that true resilience requires dismantling hierarchies in knowledge production and shifting from “research for communities” […]
