THE Ghana Education Service (GES) has announced the commencement of sensitization and education on this year’s guidelines for schools selection into senior high schools and asked the public, particularly parents, candidates and teachers, to take note.
In a statement issued and signed by the Head of Public Relations Unit, Cassandra Twum Ampofo, the GES said the exercise would take place in all the respective regional, district education directorates and schools.
“Management wishes to inform the stakeholders to watch out for infographics, shorts videos in nine Ghanaian languages, flayers and physical presence of officers in all schools to embark on the sensitization drive,” the GES indicated.
It added that the selection of the schools was scheduled from Monday, September 21 to Saturday, October 31, 2020.
“Parents and waders are particularly advised to take keen interest in the selection of schools processes and be involved for a smooth placement this year,” the GES statement asked.
According to the management, there would be an opportunity for candidates to text to a short code and confirm their school choices before actual placement would be done, adding that details of the short code would be made available in due course.
