The Bauchi State Government has announced that the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) is now compulsory for all students in both public and private schools across the state.
This directive, as disclosed by the Public Relations Officer of the State Ministry of Education, Mr. Jalaludeen Usman, aims to ensure that every student completing basic education acquires the necessary certification to support future academic advancement.
The BECE certificate is a critical requirement for entry into senior secondary schools and other higher learning institutions, and obtaining this certificate will solidify students’ academic foundation and adequately prepare them for the next phase of their education.
According to Mr. Usman, this policy is part of the broader reforms being implemented under the leadership of Governor Bala Mohammed to enhance the quality of education across the state. The government is committed to equipping young people with the credentials and skills they need to succeed both academically and professionally. Through the BECE compulsory, the state government hopes to ensure that students are well-prepared for the challenges of senior secondary school and beyond.
The State Ministry of Education has urged parents, guardians, and school administrators to ensure that all eligible students are properly registered and take part in the examination. This move is expected to improve the overall quality of education in the state and provide students with a strong foundation for future academic success.
