The Ghana Education Service (GES) has dismissed reports circulating on social media and other platforms suggesting that fixed cut-off points are being applied in the ongoing school placement process for senior high schools.
In a statement, GES explained that the placement of candidates is primarily based on their raw scores, with other factors including the level of subscription or competitiveness of a school, the demand for a particular programme, the candidate’s aggregate, residential preferences such as day or boarding, and catchment area considerations.
The Service stressed that the notion of fixed cut-off points is misleading and has no place in the placement process, describing such claims as deliberate attempts by unscrupulous individuals to misinform the public.
“Anyone relying on such so-called cut-off benchmarks has been misinformed,” the statement said.
GES further urged parents, guardians, and students to disregard such false publications and assured all stakeholders of a transparent, fair, and merit-based placement system that gives every candidate the opportunity they deserve.
