How my child’s aggregate 15 miraculously changed to 31 – Father narrates

A parent has described how it was allegedly changed a few days after checking his ward’s result slip online.

He described what happened, saying that two weeks ago when he heard the results were available, he went to the post office to check his ward’s results.

His son had a 15 on the initial check, which he printed out; however, when he checked for the school placement, his ward was not assigned a school.

Then, when he returned to review his ward’s results, he discovered that his results slip had allegedly been changed from aggregate 15 to aggregate 31.

He expressed his dissatisfaction with the two different prints out at the GNAT Hall in Accra during an interview with Onua Fm, explaining that he is trying to determine his ward’s faith.

The man who was speaking with Onua TV at the GNAT Hall in Accra on Friday, February 17, 2023, said that when they checked his son’s best six aggregate results after the release about a fortnight ago, the result was 15.

“I checked the results when they were delivered two weeks ago, and he had an aggregate of 15 on the printout. I returned to check his placement and saw that he had not been assigned to a school. I then double-checked his results and discovered that the aggregate was 31. I have two printouts with me and I don’t know why I’m here, despite what I’ve been told. The old system, in which we went to schools for results, should be reinstated if this computer placement is a problem, he advised the journalist.

Many parents, guardians, and students flocked to Accra’s GNAT hall to express their worries to Ghana Education Service staff about school placements, school changes, gender, status, and other issues.

The GNAT hall, acting as the Ghana Education Service’s dispute center, aims to assist with student challenges.

A total of 538,399 candidates who took the 2022 Basic Education Certificate Examinations (BECE) and passed qualified for this year’s Computerized School Selection Placement (CSSPS) in Senior High and Technical and Vocational Schools. This year’s BECE was taken by 547,329 candidates.

372,780 students, or 69.24% of qualified applicants, were automatically matched with one of their top-choice schools, while 165,619 applicants, or 30.76%, were required to complete self-placement in order to choose from available institutions.

Candidates must choose a school from the portal by entering their region, preferred residential setting, preferred school, and program. In order to start the admissions process, click submit, print the application, and go to the school.

The Ghana Education Service noted that until a candidate enrolls in a school, the schools they have chosen on the self-placement portal may be changed as often as they like.
