The Ministry of Education has announced the release of the 2025 school placements for candidates who sat for the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE).
Out of 603,328 students who wrote the exams, 590,309 qualified for placement into Senior High Schools (SHSs), Senior High Technical Schools (SHTSs), and Technical and Vocational Institutions (TVIs).
According to the Ministry, 483,800 candidates, representing 82 percent, have been automatically placed, while 107,509 candidates will have to use the self-placement portal.
Deputy Education Minister Dr. Clement Apaak explained that the high demand for top-tier schools meant some candidates could not be matched with their preferred choices. He encouraged affected students to use the self-placement system, which is now active.
This year, the Ministry is piloting 70 private schools under the Free SHS Programme. Initially, only 21 were included during school selection, but all 70 are now accessible on the placement portal.
In total, the placement exercise covers 724 public SHSs/SHTSs, 233 TVIs, and 70 private SHSs. Resolution centres have also been set up at district, regional, and national levels, with the GNAT Hall in Accra serving as the national centre.
The Ministry reminded parents and guardians that placement is free and cautioned against making payments to individuals in exchange for placement.
