A parent gave an account of what transpired, claiming that two weeks earlier, after learning the WASSCE results were available, he went to the post office to look up his ward’s results.
On the initial check, which he printed out, his kid received a 15, but when he verified the school placement, his ward had not been given a school.
He then realized that his results slip had reportedly been modified from aggregate 15 to aggregate 31 when he went back to review his ward’s results.
During an interview with Onua Fm, he expressed his displeasure with the two distinct prints out at the GNAT Hall in Accra, explaining that he is attempting to ascertain his ward’s faith.
The man, who spoke with Onua TV on Friday, February 17, 2023, at the GNAT Hall in Accra, said that when they checked his son’s best six aggregate results after the release about a fortnight ago, the result was 15.
“I checked the results when they were delivered two weeks ago, and he had an aggregate of 15 on the printout. I returned to check his placement and saw that he had not been assigned to a school.”
” I then double-checked his results and discovered that the aggregate was 31. I have two printouts with me and I don’t know why I’m here, despite what I’ve been told. The old system, in which we went to schools for results, should be reinstated if this computer placement is a problem”
Many parents, guardians, and students descended on Accra’s GNAT hall to express their concerns to Ghana Education Service personnel about school placements, school changes, gender, status, and other issues.
The GNAT hall, which serves as the Ghana Education Service’s dispute resolution center, aims to assist with student issues.
A total of 538,399 candidates qualified for this year’s Computerized School Selection Placement (CSSPS) in Senior High and Technical and Vocational Schools after passing the 2022 Basic Education Certificate Examinations (BECE). The BECE was taken by 547,329 candidates this year.
372,780 qualified applicants, or 69.24%, were automatically matched with one of their top-choice schools, while 165,619 applicants, or 30.76%, were required to complete self-placement in order to choose from available institutions.
Applicants must select a school through the portal by entering their chosen curriculum, preferable school, preferred residential setting, and preferred area. Click submit, print the application, and visit the school to begin the admissions process.
Until a candidate enrolls in a school, the schools they have selected on the self-placement portal may be altered as frequently as they choose, according to the Ghana Education Service.
