Tamale (Northern Region) — A non-governmental organisation (NGO) has requested government to ensure that all displaced students of junior secondary schools in the Dagbon Traditional area write their Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE), scheduled for 22 April.
The Centre for Human Rights Education and Advocacy, asked government to protect the students’ right to education by putting in place the necessary security measures to enable them write their examination. This is contained in a release signed by the Executive Director of the NGO, Mr Awudu Issah Mahmudu.
It said most of the affected students had fled the Dagbon area with their parents in the wake of the crisis. The release asked the Ministry of Education and the security agencies to jointly ensure that that the affected students returned to their communities without any fear.
