Final year students from all junior high schools in the Bongo District of the Upper East Region of Ghana, numbering over 2,145—comprising 887 boys and 1,258 girls—received more than 2,150 mathematical sets from their Member of Parliament, Lawyer Charles Bawa Dua. This support aims to assist them in preparing for their BECE exams. The students expressed their gratitude and pledged not to disappoint him but to make him proud.
In an exclusive interview with Word News, Atanga Deborah, a student from Daliga Girls Junior High School, shared that they are fully prepared for the exams. They have been engaging in group studies to discuss various subjects and topics, enhancing their understanding. The mathematical sets will be instrumental for constructing graphic works and ruling straight lines, essential for tasks like essay writing and letter writing.
“We thank him for the mathematical sets he has provided and assure him we won’t disappoint him. We’ll make sure to make him proud,” she said. She aims for an aggregate score of six, with twelve as her worst grade, aspiring to become a medical doctor in the future.
Apika Ransford, a student at St. Joachim Junior High School, also expressed readiness for the exams. He has been diligently studying all subjects and believes that the mathematical sets will greatly aid him in creative art and solving mathematical equations. He thanked Lawyer Charles Bawa Dua for the support, stating they should expect a good performance from him, aiming for a grade between six and fourteen, with aspirations of becoming a scientist.
Lawyer Charles Bawa Dua encouraged the over 2,145 students to do their best in the upcoming BECE and to aim for excellent grades. He expressed happiness in presenting the 2,150 mathematical sets to candidates across both private and public schools in the Bongo District.
He noted that the job market has become increasingly competitive, urging students to excel to gain admission into top schools in the Upper East Region. Lawyer Dua emphasized the importance of hard work, reminding students that while teachers have done their part, they must take responsibility for their own success in the exams.
He advised the students to enter the exam hall with confidence, as a lack of confidence can hinder performance. He also encouraged them to manage their time wisely during the exams, advising against spending too much time on uncertain questions. “All your teachers have passed through the same exams, and you can do it too!” he stated.
