GES gives update on SHS/TVET placement of withheld BECE scripts

After releasing the second cycle school placement of 21,458 out of the 22,270 subject scripts of 2023 BECE students withheld by WAEC, the Ghana Education Service says it is working to release school placement of the remaining 812.

Cassandra Twum-Ampofo, the Public Relations Officer for the Ghana Education Service said that the cleared BECE scripts have been processed to allow BECE candidates to access their 2023 second-cycle school placement.

She said from Monday, December 11, 2023, prospective Basic Education Certificate Examination candidates whose subject scripts were withheld by the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) can check their school placement.

‘’We have 21,458 thousand released and we have worked on them. So, by Monday, December 11, 2023, if they check on the Computerized School Selection and Placement System portal, they will see their second-cycle school placement

Initially, all those candidates could not access their placement but now they can. Now we have 812 subject scripts that are yet to be released and we will work on that,” the Ghana Education Service (GES) spokesperson said in an interview.

Meanwhile, the management of the not-for-profit-making organization has said the Basic Education Certificate Examination subject scripts under scrutiny may be cancelled or released based on the outcome of investigations.
