Meanwhile, the Award Committee has approved the schedule for the 2026 BECE Re-sit Examination. The re-sit examination will be held on July 22 and July 23, 2026, covering Mathematics and English Studies.

NECO explained that the re-sit examination is specifically for candidates with conditional deficiencies in Mathematics, English Studies, or both. The initiative is aimed at helping affected candidates remedy these deficiencies and obtain the certification required for admission and placement into Senior Secondary School One (SSS1) without repeating an academic year.
