A worried mother is calling for her daughter to be assigned to a Senior High School through the Computerized School Selection & Placement System.
While her classmates with lower grades have been assigned to schools, her daughter, who took the 2022 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) and received an aggregate of 35, is not in school.
The BECE applicant selected Aggrey Memorial, Mfantsiman, and Aburi Girls but was unsuccessful in getting any of them.
According to the Ghana Education Service (GES), “Out of the 547,329 candidates who sat for the examination, 538,399 qualified for school placement. out of these, 372,780 candidates have automatically been placed into various schools.”
Her mother entered the GNAT Hall seeking aid after becoming concerned about the situation. She gave off the impression of being irritated and angry in a viral video shared on social media.
“We are here to change it. Since the results were results, my daughter has not been happy. She told me that she was going to excel in the 2022 BECE.
She says she understand how she landed that results. Her friend with aggregate 39 has even been placed,” she said.
She is therefore present at the education service to change the results.
She further alleged that the admission process is not transparent, and some officials collect bribes from parents to get their wards into schools.
The video has sparked outrage on social media, with many calling for an overhaul of the system to ensure fairness and transparency.
The Director General of the Ghana Education Service, Dr. Eric Nkansah also told the media that first-year students are expected to report to school on February 20 for their admission processes to begin.
An angry mother whose ward wasn’t placed in any school has fumed at GES for cheating her daughter.
According to the infuriated mother, her daughter had aggregate 35 with no school but her friend who had aggregate 39 was placed in an SHS.
As revealed by the mother, her daughter’s first choice was Aburi Girls and her second choice was Mfantsiman.
