MoE warns against payment for 2023 BECE school placement

The Ministry of Education ahead of the release of the 2023 BECE school placement for 2022 BECE graduates warned prospective students and parents not to pay any amount of money to any individual to secure their preferred second-cycle school choice.

In a statement shared with AcademicWeek, the Ministry said payment of any form of such money is illegal and that students who sat for the 2022 edition of the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) do so at their own risk.

“Kindly be reminded that the computerized school selection and placement (CSSPS) process is purely on merit and no other consideration or whatever,” the statement signed by the spokesman for the Education Ministry, Kwasi Kwarteng said,

In a related development, the Public Relations Officer (PRO) for the Ministry of Education has said the 2022 computer school placement two weeks after the 2022 Basic Education Certificate Examinations results are out will be released.

In an interview monitored by AcademicWeek, the spokesperson said his outfit in collaboration with Ghana Education Service, Ghana TVET Service and Free SHS Secretariate is working tirelessly to release the school placement on time.

“After the BECE results are out, the 2022 Senior High/Technical School placement will be released in less than two weeks. The students are expected to report to school in February this year,” the Education Ministry spokesman said.
