GES to introduce new school selection system, candidates to select 11 schools instead of 6
The GES is to introduce a new school selection system that will allow candidates to select up to 11 schools instead of 6 using two different forms, which will help deal with self-placement challenges as well as other problems that come with the release of placements.
The 2023 School selection phase of the BECE has come to a halt, with parents not knowing what to do. However, this portal can confirm that the suspension of the school selection for candidates is to permit the GES to introduce a new school selection system to deal with Self-Placement Issues among others.
The GES also took down the school selection booklet off the internet.
Per our sources, the GES is updating the current school selection form. The new form will consist of two sections aimed at making the selection of second-cycle schools understandable and not complicated.
The new Free SHS selection form will have two sections, as follows.
- The 1st placement school selection form
- The 2nd placement school selection form
What is the 1st placement school selection form?
The 1st placement school selection form looks almost like the current one in use. The candidates will be required to select or choose 6 schools they will want to be considered for during placement.

What is the 2nd placement school selection form?
This is a second form that aims at dealing with self-placement issues. Candidates will be required to select up to five more schools, which will be entered on the 2nd placement school selection form.
If this new system is used, candidates will select 11 schools instead of 6 in 2023
In an interview granted by Academicweek, an officer of the GES had this to say. Regarding the
The new schools’ selection form has two sections thus, 1st placement school selection form where students are required to choose 6 schools and the 2nd placement school selection form which requires them to select 5 schools
The GES is yet to officially speak on the new development and whether it is opting for the choosing of schools after the release of the 2023 BECE results by WAEC.
