A 2025 Basic Education Certificate Examination(BECE) at Duapompo in the Ashanti Region has abandoned the exams to go work in a galamsey pit.
According to reports, the male BECE candidate chooses to make money quickly over education.
The information gathered suggests he duly registered for the external examination but failed to show up on Wednesday, June 11, 2025, the first day of the examination.
Evans Nkum, a TV3 journalist who visited the school stated, “We had a rather disturbing development from Duapompo MA JHS where we are told by one of the teachers that one of their candidates could not write the examination because apparently he left to do illegal mining.
When he was asked he said he was going to look for money. So he failed to sit for the BECE to do illegal mining”, he added.
