BECE Computerised School Placement Is Free- Education Ministry

The Ministry of Education (MoE) has asserted that the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) Computerised School Placement is not for sale.

In a statement, it affirmed that the process is free of charge.

“The Ministry of Education wishes to state categorically that the BECE Computerised School Placement System is entirely free of charge. At no point is payment required to access this service.”

It further encouraged members of the public to provide any information or evidence of persons, whether Ministry officials or third parties, who demand money for placements.

It assured that swift and decisive action will be taken against any individual found culpable.

It comes after the Ministry took notice of a widely circulated social media post attributed to one Gertrude Adzo Borkio, alleging that placement into Aburi Girls’ Senior High School costs “GHC1 5,000.”
It recognises that this “feeds into a conspiratorial narrative to create the false impression” that the placement process is for sale.

It noted that attempts to reach the author of the original post have proven unsuccessful, as her account messenger was deactivated shortly after the publication.

“The Ministry has further observed that other individuals, using anonymous or “ghost accounts, are amplifying similar falsehoods. In response, the Ministry is collaborating closely with National Security, the Cyber Security Authority, and other agencies to track down these people to assist in investigating this matter.”
