The Ghana Education Service (GES) has published a list of students who have been accepted into Senior High Schools and Technical and Vocational Education and Training Schools (TVET) for the 2018-19 academic year.
This was done for students who took the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) in 2023 using the Computerised School Selection and Placement System (CSSPS).
According to GES, “out of the total number of 598,839 results received from WAEC, 585,797 candidates qualified to be placed.”
“A total of 477,772 (81.56%) have automatically been placed in one of their choices.”
It stated that the number was a huge improvement over previous years, with over 100,000 students placed.
“However, 108,025 (18.44%) qualified candidates could not be matched with any of their choices,” the report said.
As a result, it recommended all such kids perform self-placement to choose among accessible institutions.
