CSSPS: GES includes more schools with vacancies in self-placement module

On October 29, 2019, 11:13 AM

The Ghana Education Service has asked candidates who were not placed in any of their five school choices to visit the self-placement portal.

Candidates who have done self-placement but haven’t reported to school yet and wish to change it are also at liberty to visit the portal.

The GES said, it has populated the system with more school vacancies from which candidates can choose from.

Candidates who were auto placed or did self-placement and have already enrolled in Senior High School are exempted from this.

This notice was posted on social media by the Ghana Education Service The Ghana Report can report.

It comes after almost a month since hundreds of BECE candidates thronged the Black Stars Square with their parents in connection with placement into senior high schools (SHSs) and Technical and Vocational Institutes (TVIs)

The desperate parents, guardians, and students besieged the Accra Solution Centre set up by the GES to handle concerns relating to the placement of prospective students in SHSs and TVIs.

In a media engagement in September, a Deputy Director-General of the GES in-charge of Access and Quality, Dr. Kwabena Bempah Tandoh, stated that over 90% of candidates who had gathered at the Accra Solution Centre had already been placed and were rather “shopping for better schools than those they have been placed”
