The President’s Independence Day Awards, since its inception in 1993, annually rewards young, brilliant students (male and female) between the ages of 14 and 19 from all the regions of Ghana, based on their exceptional academic performances in the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE).
The objectives are essentially to recognise and reward academic excellence and to promote and encourage students with additional educational needs.
