GES Announces 2024 BECE School Selection Proces

The Ghana Education Service (GES) has announced that the school selection period for 2024 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) candidates will be held from August 28 to September 4.

In a statement from Acting Director of the Schools and Instruction Division, Prince C. Agyemang-Duah, parents and guardians are encouraged to participate actively in the selection process to facilitate a smooth placement for their children.

Candidates will be able to confirm their school choices via a short code before the final placement is completed. Further details on the short code will be provided later.

This announcement comes after the completion of the 2024 BECE, which involved 570,461 candidates from July 8 to 15 nationwide. The school selection process enables candidates to select their preferred Senior High Schools or Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institutions.

Regional Education Directors are tasked with notifying all relevant stakeholders, including Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Directors of Education, as well as Examination Officers, to ensure a smooth execution of the process. GES headquarters officers will oversee the selection nationwide to ensure adherence to guidelines and a transparent placement process.
