Parents reward best VRA International BECE students
A group of parents of the Akosombo Volta River Authority (VRA) International Basic School has awarded the three best candidates in the 2025 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) at a ceremony at Akosombo in the Asuogyaman District in the Eastern Region last Monday.
The awardees -- who incidentally were females -- were presented with the first batch of the awards aimed at encouraging students of the school to learn hard and get the best grades in the BECE.
The overall best candidate, Charlina Andoh, received a branded laptop computer and some books; the second best candidate, Nablah Kezia Nanko, received a specially designed tablet for students and some books, while the third overall best candidate, Plange Karen Annorbea, received a specially designed mobile phone and some books.
Awards
The leader of the group, Mr Andreas Andoh, stressed that the award scheme, which had come to stay, was aimed at encouraging both teachers and the BECE candidates to put in more effort toward effective teaching and learning.
‘’The group has decided to motivate the students at the VRA International School at Akosombo to serve as a morale booster for them to learn more and make the appropriate grades, starting from those who completed in 2025,” he stated.
Mr Andoh further explained that with effect from this year the group had decided to enhance the award with cash prizes.
Criteria
He said to qualify for the best candidate award, a student must score 10 ones in all the subjects, followed by nine ones for the second place and eight ones for the third best candidate.
He urged the students to take up the challenge and learn hard in order to enjoy this year’s awards.
He assured them that the group was ready to award all those who obtain between eight and ten ones.
The Headmistress of the Akosombo VRA International Schools, Sarah Adei, on behalf of management, parents and students, expressed gratitude to the benefactors for what she described as a shining example and a meaningful investment.
She said the awards would serve as motivation for the students to perform better and qualify for the awards.
One of the beneficiaries, Nablah Kezia Nanko, on behalf of the recipients, thanked the benefactors for the gesture and challenged their juniors to take advantage of the special package and excel in this year’s BECE.
