The Ghana Education Service (GES) has extended the deadline for the school selection period and has informed all Heads of Junior High Schools (JHS) of the extension.
A statement issued by the GES explained that the extension is necessary due to the inclusion of private Senior High Schools (SHSs) in the selection process, allowing candidates additional time to make well-informed choices.
The GES maintained that the guidelines for the selection process remain unchanged.
“Please, note that all existing guidelines and procedures for the school selection process remain unchanged. Students are strongly encouraged to consult with their teachers, parents, and guardians to make informed and thoughtful decisions regarding their second cycle school education.”
Regional Directors have been instructed to notify Metro/Municipal/District Directors of Education, who will subsequently inform the heads of schools, so they can inform final-year students.
These students have been advised to use the extension period to make well-informed choices.
“Regional Directors are by this letter, kindly to communicate this updated deadline to all Metro/Municipal/District Directors of Education to bring this to the attention of final-year JHS students through their respective Head teachers, and encourage them to take full advantage of the extended period to carefully review and select their preferred schools.”
A total of 25 private senior high schools have been added to the list of institutions available for student selection nationwide.
