Teenage pregnancy in Northern Region -127 Girls unable to write 2020 WASSCE, BECE

705 The Northern Regional Director of Education, Dr Peter Attafuah, has revealed that a total of 127 girls from the region could not write the 2020 West African Senior Secondary Certificate Examination (WASSCE) and the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) because they were pregnant. Out of the total number, he said 113 were BECE candidates while the remaining 14 were WASSCE candidates. Speaking at an education dialogue series organised by a non-governmental organisation, School for Life, in Tamale last Wednesday, Dr Attafuah stated that even though pregnancies among BECE and WASSCE candidates were not new, “the number was high in 2020 as compared to the previous years”.
