B.E.C.E. CANDIDATE WRITES EXAM LYING FLAT ON THE STOMACH
An 18-year-old pupil of the New Abirem L/A “B” Junior High School,
Cynthia Ayisi had the unfortunate experience of writing her Basic
Education Certificate Examinations (BECE) for this year.
She had to lay flat on her stomach to write the examinations.
She had serious burns on her buttocks, fingers and feet after falling into
a boiling palm oil on April 10.
Narrating her sad incident to the Ghana News Agency before the start of
the
mathematics paper at the New Abirem/Afosu Senior High School centre at
New Abirem, the girl said during the Easter break, she was helping her
mother to process the palm oil when she accidentally slipped and fell
into it.
According to the girl who wants to be a nurse in the
future, her mutual health insurance has expired and as a result could
not go to the hospital for treatment and had to go to a chemical shop
for medical assistance.
Meanwhile Eric Atakorah, Birim North
District Director of Education has intervened by appealing to the
authorities of the New Abirem Government Hospital who have agreed for
the girl to be given proper medical treatment.
