GES releases School Placement 2023 for BECE ‘SHS/SHTS/TVET’ The GES has shared essential insights to ensure a seamless self-placement experience for students.
Understanding the Statistics
Out of the 598,839 results received from the West African Examinations Council (WAEC), a staggering 585,797 candidates have qualified for placement.
The GES reports a significant improvement compared to the previous year, with 81.56% of prospective students automatically securing a spot in one of their chosen schools. However, 18.44% of qualified candidates, totaling 108,025 students, still need to undertake self-placement.
Self-Placement Guidelines
To streamline the self-placement process, the GES has outlined a set of guidelines for prospective students and their parents or guardians.
Consider Your Catchment Area: Ensure that your compulsory Day option is within your catchment area, allowing for convenient commuting. This ensures accessibility and ease of travel to and from the selected school.
Verify Technical Programmes: For those interested in Technical Programmes, consult the school register to confirm that the selected schools offer the desired programmes. This step ensures that students align their preferences with the available academic offerings.
Avoid Peer Influence: Choose schools based on personal preferences and academic goals rather than succumbing to peer influence. The guidelines emphasize the importance of making choices based on individual interests and aspirations.
Hands-On Approach to Self-Placement: The guidelines explicitly caution against leaving the self-placement process in the hands of internet cafe attendants. Students are advised to actively participate in the selection process to ensure alignment with their educational objectives.
Day Student vs. Boarding Considerations: It is crucial not to assume the ability to switch from being a Day Student to a Boarding Student post-admission. Prospective students should carefully consider their preferences and choose the appropriate placement type accordingly.
Parents and guardians are urged to take a keen interest in their ward’s self-placement process. Similarly, candidates are encouraged to adhere to the SHS self-placement guidelines diligently. By following these guidelines, students can make informed decisions that align with their academic and personal preferences.
