Vice-Chancellor Visits UBS 2025 BECE Candidates

On Wednesday, June 11, 2025, Vice-Chancellor Prof. Nana Aba Appiah Amfo, has visited the University Basic School (UBS) to encourage the 2025 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) candidates. 

She was accompanied by some senior UG officials as well as members of the Chaplaincy Board and the UBS Parent Teacher Association.

 The Acting Head of School, Mr. Eric Sifa, in delivering welcome remarks, reported that 125 pupils from the University Basic School are taking part in this year’s BECE.

Addressing the candidates as part of her annual interaction with final year pupils, Professor Amfo reassured them of the university community’s unwavering support. Acknowledging that this is the first major examination experience for many, she urged them to remain calm, trust in their efforts and avoid exam malpractices, quoting Philippians 4:6-7 for inspiration. 

She advised the students to trust in God, obey exam instructions, and refrain from malpractice.

The Vice-Chancellor concluded by further expressing hope that this year’s BECE results would exceed past performances, adding, “Don’t disappoint us.”

Vice PTA Chair, Mrs. Ama Kissiwaa Gaisey-Otoo,  echoed these sentiments, wishing the students great success. “Today is a clean slate and a chance to achieve everything in life. Best wishes to you all. Today determines your direction, so give it your best,” she encouraged.

Chair of the UBS Board, Professor Vera Ogeh Fiador,  inspired the students to approach the exams with faith. “You’ve already overcome, so I believe in you,” she said, urging them to take prayer seriously and deliver to the best of their abilities.

Chair of the Chaplaincy Board Prof. Charles Ackah led the candidates in a time of prayer. 

Mrs. Judith Amoateng Ennin from the Education Directorate of the Ayawaso West Municipal Assembly, emphasised the importance of adhering to examination regulations and striving for excellence.

Best wishes to the UBS Class of 2025.
