Ghana Education Service (GES) has set the dates for the 2024 school placement process for Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) candidates.
The selection period will run from August 28 to September 4.
Prince C. Agyemang-Duah, Acting Director of the Schools and Instruction Division at GES, has called on parents and guardians to actively participate in this year’s school selection to ensure an efficient and effective placement process.
Candidates will be able to confirm their preferred school choices via a designated short code, with details to be shared soon. This step will precede the final placement process.
This announcement follows the conclusion of the 2024 BECE, which saw 570,461 students sitting for the exams from July 8 to 15 across Ghana.
The selection phase will enable students to choose their preferred Senior High Schools or Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institutions.
Regional Education Directors have been directed to communicate the selection dates to relevant stakeholders, including local education authorities and exam officials, to facilitate a smooth process.
GES will also deploy officers from its headquarters to monitor the selection process across the country, ensuring compliance with all guidelines and maintaining transparency throughout.
