THE 2025 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE), earlier scheduled to hold from June 9 to June 13 for both public and private secondary schools in Delta State, has been shifted to a new date.
A statement from the Functioning Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education, Mr Daniel Akiri, on behalf of the State Commissioner for Secondary Education, Mrs Rose Ezewu noted that the examination would now commence from June 16 to June 20.
It explained that the rescheduling of the examination was necessitated by the Federal Government’s declaration of public holidays on June 6 and June 9 to mark Eid-ul-Adha, and the Democracy Day celebration on June 12.
According to the statement, the midterm break for all public and private primary and secondary schools in the state would now be held from June 16 to June 20, as opposed to the earlier schedule of June 9 to June 13.
The statement regretted the inconvenience the development, especially the change in the earlier date, might have caused.
