Three students from Ghana Armed Forces schools have been honoured with the Presidential Academic Award for their exceptional performance in the 2025 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE).

The awards were presented during this year’s President’s Independence Day Awards for school children, held under the theme “Building Prosperity, Restoring Hope.” 

Vice President Jane Naana Opoku-Agyemang joined the ceremony, which recognised 52 outstanding students selected from all 16 regions of Ghana.

The awardees, drawn from both public and private schools, included students with visual and hearing impairments, underscoring the programme’s commitment to inclusivity and equal recognition of talent.

The Presidential Academic Awards celebrate not only academic excellence but also discipline and perseverance, reflecting the core values that Ghana’s education system seeks to instil in its young learners.
