The Public Relations Officer (PRO) for the Ministry of Education, Mr. Kwasi Kwarteng has announced the release date of the 2022 BECE.

2022 BECE Results and Placements
Mr. Kwasi Kwarteng disclosed during the interview that their checks with the West African Education Council (WAEC) reveals that the 2022 BECE results will be results by 25th January, 2023.
“Our checks with WAEC show that hopefully by 19th January, the BECE results will be in,” he told the host of the AM Show, Bernice Abu-Baidoo Lansah.
Mr. Kwarteng also reiterated that the Education Ministry is working tirelessly to enable first-year Senior High School (SHS) students to begin school as soon as possible.
Hence, after the results are released, placement which deals with allocating students to their respective SHS will also come much earlier as compared to the previous years.
“This year, the placement will be quite earlier. Instead of March, we are looking at February so that students can get to school quite earlier,” Mr Kwarteng said.
