It is our hope that the 2024 BECE graduates can make the right school selection choices and get placed easily with the tips shared here.
Here are some tips for 2024 BECE graduates to make the right school selection choices and get placed easily:
- Research different schools and programs. There are many different senior high schools in Ghana, each with its own unique strengths and weaknesses. It is important to do your research and find schools that offer the programs and facilities that you are interested in. You can use the Ghana Education Service (GES) website to find a list of all senior high schools in Ghana, as well as information about each school’s programs and facilities.
- Talk to your teachers and guidance counselors. They can help you assess your academic strengths and weaknesses, and recommend schools that are a good fit for you. They can also give you advice on how to make your school selection choices.
- Consider your interests and goals. What do you want to study after senior high school? What kind of career do you want to have? Choose schools that offer the programs and facilities that will help you achieve your goals.
- Be realistic about your chances of getting placed in your desired schools. Some schools are more competitive than others. If you have a high BECE aggregate, you will have more options, but it is still important to be realistic about your chances.
- Choose a variety of schools. When you make your school selection choices, be sure to include a variety of schools, including both competitive and less competitive schools. This will increase your chances of getting placed in a school that you are happy with.
- Make your choices carefully. Once you have researched different schools and made your list of choices, take some time to think carefully about each school. Consider the factors that are most important to you, such as the school’s academic reputation, programs, facilities, and location.
- Do not choose schools based on taste and preference but based on your ability to get placed based on your academic strength.
