The Ghana Education Service (GES) has announced that the 2024 school selection process for Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) candidates will take place from August 28 to September 4. This development comes after the completion of the 2024 BECE, which saw a total of 570,461 candidates participate across the country.
In a statement issued by the Acting Director of the Schools and Instruction Division of GES, Prince C. Agyemang-Duah, parents and guardians are urged to be actively involved in the school selection exercise to ensure a smooth placement process this year. The statement emphasizes the importance of parents and guardians taking an active role in the process, as it will enable them to make informed decisions about their children's educational future.
The school selection process is a critical step in the educational journey of BECE candidates, as it determines which senior high school they will attend after completing their junior high school education. The process is usually marked by a high level of anxiety and anticipation among students, parents, and guardians alike.
According to the statement, candidates will have the opportunity to confirm their school choices by texting a short code before the final placement is conducted. Details regarding the short code will be provided in due course, allowing parents and guardians ample time to make informed decisions about their children's educational future.
The announcement has been met with relief and excitement by students, parents, and guardians across the country. Many have expressed gratitude to the GES for providing a clear timeline for the school selection process, which will help alleviate anxiety and uncertainty among students.
"This is great news! Finally, we have a clear timeline for the school selection process. My child has been waiting for this moment for so long," said Mrs. Abena Boakye, a parent from Accra. "I am grateful to the GES for providing this opportunity for us to make informed decisions about our children's educational future."
The GES has also assured that all necessary measures will be taken to ensure a smooth and transparent placement process. The agency has emphasized its commitment to providing quality education to all students, regardless of their background or location.
The announcement comes after a successful completion of the 2024 BECE, which saw an impressive turnout of 570,461 candidates across the country. The examination was conducted between July 8 and 15, with candidates sitting for eight subjects: English Language, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, Integrated Science, Business Studies, French Language, and Technical Drawing.

The results of the examination determine which senior high school students will attend after completing their junior high school education. The examination is usually administered by the West African Examination Council (WAEC), which is responsible for ensuring the integrity and quality of the examination process.
The Ghana Education Service (GES) is responsible for ensuring that all students receive quality education that prepares them for further academic pursuits or entry into the workforce.
