BENUE STATE HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY COMMENDS BEQAEB, AS EXECUTIVE SECRETARY REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO REVENUE SYNERGY

The Benue State House of Assembly has commended the Benue Education Quality Assurance and Examinations Board (BEQAEB) for its transparency, prudent financial management and outstanding performance, as the Board's Executive Secretary, Dr. Terna Francis, reaffirmed its commitment to supporting the state's revenue drive through stronger inter-agency collaboration.

The commendation came during the presentation of BEQAEB's 2026 Approved Budget Half-Year Performance Report before the House Standing Committee on Appropriation at the Benue State House of Assembly Complex, Makurdi.

While presenting the report, Dr. Francis appealed for increased budgetary support to enable the Board to sustain the successful conduct of quality examinations, monitoring and effectively implement the Students' Exchange Programme in the face of rising operational costs.

Addressing concerns over delays in payments to examination personnel, the Executive Secretary explained that the temporary delays resulted from the Board's transition from cash-based payments to direct bank transfers. He noted that the reform was introduced to deepen transparency, accountability and financial discipline, ensuring that all payments are made directly to beneficiaries through their respective bank accounts.

In his remarks, the Chairman of the House Standing Committee on Appropriation, Rt. Hon. Cephas Dyako, lauded BEQAEB for its meticulous financial documentation and commendable performance. He assured the Board of the Assembly's continued support and pledged that concerns over the arbitrary increase in examination fees by some private schools would receive legislative attention.

Later, Dr. Francis attended the MDAs Revenue Synergy Forum organised by the Benue State Internal Revenue Service (BIRS), where he reiterated BEQAEB's readiness to collaborate with relevant Ministries, Departments and Agencies in advancing the state's revenue generation agenda.

He observed that the Board's fully automated payment system has already entrenched transparency and accountability in its operations, positioning BEQAEB to contribute meaningfully to the government's drive for improved internally generated revenue through strengthened institutional synergy.

BECE AWARD COMMITTEE APPROVES RESULTS, SCORES BEQAEB HIGH IN THE CONDUCT OF 2026 EXAMINATION; SANCTIONS SCHOOLS INVOLVED IN MISCONDUCTS

The Award Committee for the 2026 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) has approved the release of the examination results, commending the Benue Education Quality Assurance and Examinations Board (BEQAEB) for the significant improvements recorded in the conduct of the examination while recommending sanctions against schools and examination officials found culpable of misconduct.

The resolution was reached during the Award Committee meeting held at the BEQAEB Headquarters in Makurdi, chaired by the Executive Secretary of the Board, Dr. Terna Francis, where members also ratified the report of the BECE Screening Committee.

Membership of the Award Committee is drawn from the Ministry of Education and Knowledge Management, the Benue State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB), the Benue State Teaching Service Board (TSB), the All Nigeria Confederation of Principals of Secondary Schools (ANCOPSS), the National Association of Proprietors of Private Schools (NAPPS), the Academic Staff Union of Secondary Schools (ASUSS), the Parent-Teacher Association (PTA), the State Agency for Mass Education, Directors of the Board, Heads of Departments and Units under the Directorate of Examinations and Assessment, as well as Subject Team Leaders.

Presenting its report, the Screening Committee disclosed that it reviewed the overall conduct of the examination, assessed candidates' performance, verified the compilation of results, investigated reported cases of examination malpractice involving schools, supervisors, custodian officers and examiners, and recommended appropriate sanctions against offenders.

Following deliberations, the Award Committee approved the results and adopted the recommendations of the Screening Committee, including sanctions for schools and examination officials found to have violated the Board's regulations.

Speaking during the meeting, Dr. Francis reaffirmed the Board's commitment to preserving the integrity of public examinations, stressing that examination malpractice would not be tolerated under any circumstances. He emphasized that supervisors, examiners, custodian officers and school authorities all have critical roles to play in ensuring credible examinations, warning that all established cases of misconduct would attract appropriate sanctions.

On the issue of Continuous Assessment (CA), the Award Committee approved that upon the expiration of the stipulated deadline for the upload of Basic 9 Continuous Assessment scores, the Board should proceed with the computation and processing of results for schools that have successfully completed their uploads. The Committee further resolved that schools that fail to meet the deadline would have their results processed separately, in order to ensure that the timely release of the 2026 BECE results is not delayed by defaulting schools.

Expressing concern over persistent cases of late registration and delayed submission of candidates' details by schools, Dr. Francis announced that examination portals would henceforth close much earlier to allow adequate planning and seamless conduct of examinations.

He further disclosed that the Board would intensify compliance monitoring across schools, reiterating that no school would be permitted to promote students without evidence of participation in both the BECE and the Mock Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination (Mock SSCE), in line with existing regulations.

The Executive Secretary also warned schools against denying duly registered candidates access to examinations because of outstanding school fees, directing supervisors to ensure that every registered candidate is allowed to sit for the examinations in accordance with the Board's regulations.

In her remarks, the Director of Examinations and Assessment, Dr. Antonia Orokpo, commended the successful conduct of the 2026 BECE, attributing the achievement to the reform-driven leadership of Dr. Francis. She noted that the introduction of examination checkers had significantly minimized operational challenges, enhanced quality assurance, and contributed to the smooth conduct of the examination.

Also speaking, the Benue State Chairman of NAPPS, represented by Comrade Kangegh Inyarev, and the representative of the ANCOPSS President, Benue State Chapter, Kpalev Timothy, applauded the Board's reform agenda. They commended BEQAEB for the remarkable improvement in the administration of the 2026 BECE, scoring the Board highly for the credibility, transparency and efficiency of the examination process, and pledged the continued support of their respective associations towards sustaining the reforms and further strengthening the state's examination system.

HOW TO CALCULATE THE C.A AGGREGATE

Let us work it out step by step 👇

Step 1: Add up the annual scores
Example:
Basic 7 score = 100
Basic 8 score = 100
Basic 9 score = 100

Total = 100 + 100 + 100 = 300

Step 2: Find the average
Divide the total by 3
300 / 3 = 100
So, the average score is 100.

Step 3: Find 30% of the average
30% / 100 = {30}{100}
= 0.30 x 100
= 30

Answer: 30

The average of 100, 100, and 100 is 100.

Therefore, the aggregate of this child is 30

BEQAEB PERMITS SCHOOLS TO UPLOAD ONLY BASIC 9 CA ON E-DOSSIER FOR IMMEDIATE USE, EXTENDS DEADLINE TO WEDNESDAY, 5TH AUGUST, 2026 AS NAPPS, ANCOPSS INTERACT WITH ES

The Benue State Education Quality Assurance and Examinations Board (BEQAEB) has approved a temporary measure permitting schools across the state to upload only the Continuous Assessment (CA) records of Basic 9 learners on the e-dossier platform for the immediate processing of the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) results.

The approval was granted by the Executive Secretary of BEQAEB, Dr. Terna Francis, during a courtesy visit by the leadership of the Benue State chapters of the All Nigeria Conference of Principals of Secondary Schools (ANCOPSS) and the National Association of Proprietors of Private Schools (NAPPS) to the Board's headquarters. Dr. Francis also extended the deadline for e-dossier uploads to Wednesday, 5th August, 2026, to enable more schools to comply with the directive.

Responding to concerns raised over the e-dossier upload process, Dr. Francis relaxed the earlier requirement that schools must first upload the Continuous Assessment records of Basic 7 and Basic 8 learners before uploading those of Basic 9. He explained that schools that are unable to complete the uploads for Basic 7 and Basic 8 immediately may now proceed to upload the Basic 9 Continuous Assessment records to facilitate the timely processing and release of the BECE results. The Continuous Assessment records for Basic 7 and Basic 8 are to be uploaded subsequently.

Dr. Francis explained that the e-dossier is an essential data management platform designed to capture comprehensive information on learners. According to him, the data will enable government to assess school performance across various demographic categories, strengthen educational planning, and improve the quality of education in Benue State.

He expressed concern over the inability of many schools to upload the Continuous Assessment records of Basic 7 and Basic 8 learners. He noted that the e-dossier is designed to aggregate the Continuous Assessment scores of Basic 7, Basic 8, and Basic 9 learners. Once candidates sit for the BECE, the examination portal automatically retrieves the Continuous Assessment records from the e-dossier, computes the cumulative scores, and processes the results without requiring schools to submit the records separately, which are sometimes falsified.

The Executive Secretary admonished both associations for their earlier opposition to the e-dossier policy and urged them to become champions of the reform, emphasizing that the initiative would position Benue State among the leading states in educational development through improved data-driven decision-making and efficient examination administration.

Speaking on behalf of their respective associations, the State President of ANCOPSS, Mr. Robert Apir, and the State Chairman of NAPPS, Mr. Sunday Ojo, pledged to intensify advocacy for the e-dossier initiative. They assured the Executive Secretary that, by the next academic session, schools across the state would have uploaded the Continuous Assessment records from the previous academic session, thereby ensuring the successful implementation and sustainability of the system.

2026 MOCK SSCE: BEQAEB BOSS EMPHASIZES THOROUGH EXAMINATION MARKING TO UPHOLD EXAM INTEGRITY

The Executive Secretary of the Benue Education Quality Assurance and Examinations Board (BEQAEB), Dr. Terna Francis, has urged examiners nominated for the 2026 Mock Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination (SSCE) to uphold the highest marking standards to preserve the integrity and credibility of the examination.

Dr. Francis gave the charge during a meeting with team leaders and nominated examiners at Government College, Makurdi, ahead of the commencement of the marking exercise across the state.

He observed that the Mock SSCE had lost credibility over the years, with many schools losing confidence in presenting candidates. He stressed that restoring trust in the examination begins with transparent, accurate, and objective marking.

The Executive Secretary frowned at cases where some examiners award unjustifiably low scores to students who consistently perform well in school, attributing such discrepancies to negligence or incompetence. He disclosed that examination checkers have been deployed to monitor the marking process and warned that any examiner found wanting would face appropriate sanctions.

Dr. Francis also directed team leaders to ensure that only duly nominated examiners physically present at the marking centres receive marking parcels, explaining that the previous practice of issuing parcels to BEQAEB staff resulted in missing scripts, delayed results, and omitted scores in some subjects.

He assured the examiners that the Board would review their remuneration upward in future exercises to reflect current economic realities and reaffirmed the Board's commitment to improving teachers' welfare.

Earlier, the Director of Examinations and Assessment, Dr. Antonia Orokpo, reminded examiners that the Mock SSCE is a high-integrity examination and urged them to handle all scripts with care. She cautioned against misplacing scripts, particularly in subjects with few candidates, and called on examiners and schools to strictly adhere to all marking and documentation guidelines.

2026 MOCK SSCE: BEQAEB BOSS URGES QUALITY MARKING TO BOOST CONFIDENCE IN ENROLLMENT

The Executive Secretary of the Benue Education Quality Assurance and Examinations Board (BEQAEB), Dr. Terna Francis, has charged examiners to ensure quality and credible marking as the 2026 Mock Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) marking exercise begins tomorrow across the state's zonal centres.

Speaking during a meeting with team leaders at the Board's headquarters, Dr. Francis during a pre-marking exercise said the credibility of the examination depends on the quality of the marking process. He noted that examination checkers have been introduced to strengthen accuracy, transparency, and accountability.

He stressed that the credibility demonstrated during the conduct of the Mock SSCE must also be reflected in the results to restore public confidence and better prepare candidates for external examinations. According to him, a credible examination process will naturally attract more candidates without the need for aggressive registration campaigns.

The Executive Secretary urged examiners to use BEQAEB's communication channels, including his direct phone line, to report challenges. He warned that any team leader involved in unethical practices, such as engaging unqualified personnel to handle scripts or examination materials, would face strict disciplinary action.

Dr. Francis also directed that examiners' details be properly documented, reaffirming the Board's commitment to electronic payment systems to promote transparency and effective financial auditing. As such, there will be no more payment in proxy or third party payment.

Earlier, the Director of Examinations and Assessment, Dr. Antonia Orokpo, commended team leaders for their performance during the BECE marking exercise. She disclosed that some BECE team leaders had been replaced following field reports and urged examiners to conduct the Mock SSCE marking with diligence and integrity, emphasizing that the future of every Benue child depends on a credible examination system.
