Great Unity Academy Student Shines in 2025 BECE

A 15-year-old pupil of Great Unity Academy at Agric-Aburaso-Kromase-NSIMA in the Atwima Kwanwoma District has distinguished herself in the 2025 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE).

Francisca Awuah Manu excelled with an impressive 10 ones, securing aggregate six in the recently released results. She has expressed her desire to pursue her secondary education at St. Louis Senior High School in Kumasi, which she selected as her first-choice school.

Francisca, who served as the Girls’ Prefect and Cadet Commander of the school, aspires to become a medical officer in the future and eventually join the Ghana Armed Forces.

Speaking about her achievement, Francisca attributed her success to hard work, discipline, and consistency. “I studied late into the night and revised every morning before school. I also read ahead of lessons and sought clarification from my teachers whenever I did not understand a topic,” she explained. She encouraged students preparing for next year’s BECE to take their studies seriously, cultivate a close relationship with their books, and ask probing questions in class.

Her remarkable performance has earned her praise from the Director of Education, Mrs. Doris Ofori, the school’s staff, facilitators, the PTA, fellow learners, and members of the community.

The Proprietor of Great Unity Academy, Mr. Joseph B. Danquah, affectionately called Grandpa, described Francisca as a role model and a source of inspiration for other students. He lauded her discipline and determination, recalling that she enrolled in the school at the age of two. “She has always been punctual, serious, and exceptional, not only academically but also in extracurricular activities. Her achievement proves that with hard work, every student can excel,” he noted.

Grandpa also reserved a special praise for Apostle Dr. C.T. Coompson, the brain behind the establishment of Great Unity Academy.

He further commended Francisca’s parents for their commitment to her education despite financial challenges, and expressed gratitude to the school facilitators for their dedication. “May the Lord richly bless her and let the sky be her limit,” he said.

Francisca’s success, according to him, is even more remarkable given the introduction of a new curriculum, which demands extra effort from learners. He urged other students, particularly girls, to emulate her example and strive for academic exce
