A School Management Committee (SMC) financial secretary in the Komenda Edina Eguafo Abrem (KEEA) municipality of the Central Region has vented his seeming decades-old anger at groups and individuals especially Members of Parliament (MPs) and Metropolitan, Municipal and District Chief Executives (MMDCEs) who only visit and donate mathematical sets and other stationeries to Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) candidates few days to the examination in the country.

According to Anthony Abrowah, who doubles as a broadcast journalist, it saddens his heart and annoys him that those donors could not see the need to donate those items to the pupils years before the examination in order for them to use them to study but wait till the eve of the examination day before they visit the schools and centres with the items "with swarm of media houses.”

“It's disheartening and sad that most of these candidates never got hold of a textbook, physical computer, some even never sat on a desk, et al, throughout their schooling... meanwhile, they had these MPs, MMDCEs, organizations etc in their district... come to our school, lower primary pupils sitting on cement block amidst poor ventilation.” portion of the post reads.

Kojo Ata Kakrah Abrowah (KAKA), as he is known in the media space, made this in a social media post sighted by this site.

He described the act as a "seasonal and habitual normalised abnormality” and therefore called on parents of BECE candidates to “sack and reject” such offers from those seasonal donors in future, adding that, it was not mathematical set that a caring parent who had struggled to cater for a child from kindergarten to Junior High School (JHS) three could not buy for the child to write the final examination.

However, the 2022 BECE starts from Monday, October 17, 2022 to Friday, October 21, 2022 with total candidates of 552, 276 made up of 276,988 males and 275,288 females.
