What is the cut-off point for 2021 BECE?
As far as the aggregate scored by a candidate is concerned, there is no cut-off point for admission into SHS. However, there is a cut-off point for getting placed in a secondary school. Once a candidate obtained grade 9 in either English or Mathematics or Integrated Science, the chances of being placed in a secondary school become slimmer.
Can I change my school or program after I have been placed or enrolled in a school?
Yes and No: After you have been placed in a secondary school, you cannot change the programme or the school unless there are valid reasons.
Again, after you have enrolled in a secondary school, if the GES gives directives for students to be allowed to make a switch from one programme to another, then it will be allowed.
If this directive is not given, it will be difficult for the programme to be changed for students.
