2023 BECE School Placement Released | How to Do The BECE Self Placement
One of the questions parents have been asking since they checked the placement of the 2023 BECE candidates is “How to change a school you did not choose but have been placed in’?
The possibility of changing the school of your ward who has been automatically placed is possible.
The first issue is whether you opted for the cluster option while selecting a school. The cluster option, when used, permits the Ghana Education Service to consider your ward and place him or her in one of the schools in the category from which the schools were selected if the candidate is placed in any of the schools selected but qualified for placement.
For instance, if John selected Achimota Schoolobted for the cluster option General Science and Boarding and had a raw score of 395, he is likely to be placed in, say, PRESRC Legon if there is an available slot in PRESEC that matches the option chosen (General Science and Boarding). This applies to all schools chosen if the cluster option is also thicked. It is the best way to choose schools.
However, it is clear that parents may not like the school a candidate is placed at.
FAQ: How to change a school you did not choose but have been placed in
- Check if you opted for the CLUSTER option for the schools you chose.
- If you do not have a cluster option chosen, look for the school selection form you submitted to your ward’s school.
- Check the school form submitted to see if you made a cluster option choice.
- If not, such a choice was made for the category in which your ward was placed.
- Call the school placement officers and lodge a complaint.
- Even if you made the cluster option choice but have numerous reasons for the need to change schools, contact the GES through their school placement hotlines to get help.
We hope this explanation has provided you with the answers you are looking for. Remember, however, that the seriousness of candidates in terms of academics and their discipline are key factors that determine their academic progress and performance in school, not the past glories of the school.

My son got an aggregate of 27, but none of his eleven schools gave him an offer. Why must he be self placed
It simply means other studnts who chose the same school scored between 06 and 24, which are far better than 25. Do not foeget that its a competative placement based on grade, raw score and accomodation type chosen
