Thirty-four (34) students of the Redemption School Complex at Bawjiase in the Awutu Senya West municipality of the Central Region will not take part in the ongoing Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE).
This is because the proprietor of the school Afrane Mensah failed to successfully register the final year students so they could take part in the exams.
The students who were worried said that they had paid their registration fees in full but they were sacked when they got to the centre since they had not been registered.
