There’s No Fixed Cut-off Point For SHS Placement- GES

The Ghana Education Service (GES) has stated that placement into various Senior High and Technical schools isn’t done with fixed cut-off points.

Rather, it is done primarily based on the 𝗿𝗮𝘄𝘀𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗲𝘀 of students as well as the level of subscription/competitiveness of a school; the competitiveness of a particular programme; the aggregate of the candidate; Residential preferences (day or boarding); and the catchment area considerations.

In a press statement, it emphasised that the notion of fixed cut-off points is misleading and has no basis in the placement process.

“Anyone relying on such so-called cut-off benchmarks has been misinformed.”

The GES therefore urged parents, guardians, and students to 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗿𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝗽𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀, as they are a mischievous attempt by unscrupulous persons to mislead the public.

“We assure all stakeholders of a 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁, 𝗳𝗮𝗶𝗿, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗶𝘁-𝗯𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 that gives every candidate the opportunity they deserve.”
