Berekum MCE Tours BECE Examination Centres

The Municipal Chief Executive for Berekum, Mr. Kofi Adjei has toured all examination Centres of the on-going Basic Education Certificate Examination which commenced nationwide today, 10^th June 2019.

Interacting with some of the candidates and invigilators in some of the Centres within the Berekum Senior School and Presbyterian Senior High School, the Municipal Chief Executive advised candidates to do independent work.
