In a significant boost to education in the Tatale Sanguli Constituency in the Northern Region, two leading public officials have jointly launched a comprehensive extra classes initiative aimed at preparing Junior High School final-year students for the 2026 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE).
The intervention, spearheaded by the Member of Parliament for the area, Hon. Ntebe Ayo William, in collaboration with the District Chief Executive, Hon. Mary Tagba, is expected to benefit hundreds of candidates across the district. The programme officially commenced on Thursday, April 16, 2026, at 3:00 p.m., with multiple centers designated to ensure accessibility for students in different communities.
The initiative underscores the leaders’ shared commitment to improving academic performance and expanding educational opportunities for young learners, particularly those in underserved areas.
Education stakeholders in the district have long expressed concerns over the performance of BECE candidates, often attributing challenges to limited access to supplementary academic support.
The introduction of these extra classes is therefore seen as a timely intervention designed to bridge learning gaps, reinforce classroom teaching, and provide candidates with the tools needed to excel in their final examinations.
According to organizers, the classes will focus on core subjects, including Mathematics, English Language, and Integrated Science—key areas that significantly influence overall BECE outcomes.
Qualified teachers and facilitators have reportedly been engaged to deliver structured lessons, revision sessions, and examination-focused guidance.
To maximize reach and convenience, the programme is being conducted across four main centers within the constituency. These include Tatale D/A Junior High School, Tatale Girls Model School, Kpalbutabu D/A Junior High School, and Nahuyili D/A Junior High School.
The decentralized approach is intended to reduce travel burdens on students while ensuring that no eligible candidate is left out due to distance or logistical constraints.
Speaking on the initiative, both Hon. Ntebe Ayo William and Hon. Mary Tagba emphasized that education remains a top priority in their development agenda.
They reiterated their resolve to invest in human capital development as a pathway to long-term socio-economic transformation in the district.
“This initiative is not just about passing exams,” a source close to the organizers noted. “It is about building confidence, nurturing potential, and giving every child a fair chance to succeed.”
The leaders also encouraged parents and guardians to support their wards by ensuring regular attendance and active participation in the classes.
The programme has been widely welcomed by parents, students, and educationists, many of whom have praised the initiative as both thoughtful and impactful.
Some residents described it as a “game-changer” that could significantly improve the district’s BECE performance statistics in the coming year.
Students, on their part, expressed enthusiasm about the opportunity to receive additional academic support, particularly in subjects they find challenging.
As the 2026 BECE approaches, such interventions are expected to play a crucial role in shaping outcomes and enhancing confidence among candidates.
With strong leadership backing and community support, the Tatale Sanguli extra classes initiative stands as a promising model of how targeted educational policies can drive meaningful change at the grassroots level.
Observers say the success of the programme could inspire similar initiatives in other districts, reinforcing the importance of collaborative leadership in addressing educational challenges.

As preparations intensify, all eyes will be on the performance of beneficiaries—an outcome that could validate this proactive investment in the future of the constituency’s youth.
