MoE warn vendors ‘overpricing’ SHS/TVET placement checker card
The Ministry of Education following the soon-release second cycle school placement of the release of the students who partook in this year’s BECE has warned vendors selling the school placement checker card to be mindful of their prices for the voucher.
The caution comes after an official of the Education Ministry (MoE) told Thistermcom his outfit’s attention has been drawn to the high price some CSSPS agents are selling the computer school placement voucher or checker card.
“The Ministry of Education has partnered with various security agencies including the Ghana Police Service to arrest individuals who lure the BECE graduates claiming they can change their school for an amount,” the MoE official said.
Thisterm as part of an effort to lessen the burden on students and parents has partnered with a Computerized School Selection and Placement System (CSSPS) vendor to sell the school placement checker card at a cheap rate of GH¢15.00.
