Pregnant Student Delivers Baby in BECE Exam Centre

A pregnant student sitting for the 2025 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) stunned many after she went into labour and gave birth during her ICT paper.

The incident occurred on Wednesday, June 11, at the Asenua Presbyterian Junior High School Examination Centre in Mamponteng, within the Kwabre East Municipality of the Ashanti Region.

According to reports, the student began showing signs of distress while being escorted to the washroom by a police officer stationed at the centre. Upon entering the facility, the officer realised the candidate was already in active labour.

Speaking to Ultimate 106.9 FM, a teacher at the centre, Desmond Adjei, confirmed that the student was quickly moved to the headmaster’s office, where she successfully delivered a healthy baby boy.

He added that the pastor of the Asenua Presbyterian Church stepped in to assist by transporting the young mother and her newborn to Victory Hospital, where both are currently receiving medical care.
