What to do when School Placement of B.E.C.E. Candidates is Released.

http://www.mayflower.edu.gh/what-to-do-when-school-placement-of-b-e-c-e-candidates-is-released.html

Placement of B.E.C.E. candidates into their various secondary schools usually brings about joy and happiness for those who made their first choice school. Those who are given their second, third, fourth and even fifth choice school feel disappointed.  Parents need to counsel such candidates immediately. They must know that no matter the secondary school one attends, with seriousness and hard work, one can equally do well in the final examination (WASSCE).

When the short code is given out, candidates are to buy 1gh unit and text their index number to the given short code, (1060) on all network has been used for the past two years. A text message would be sent into your inbox indicating the school you have been placed.

If you don’t have the scratch card, go to any ADB bank and buy one. If you already have the scratch card,  print out the school placement form from any internet café. Take the printed form for your school’s headmaster/headmistress to fill and endorse. Don’t forget to send your passport picture for endorsement also. You can then call the secondary school you have been placed into before going there with your parents to collect your prospectus.

If you can get the prospectus of the school you have been placed to from a friend, do get it and encourage your parents to start buying your school items. Please don’t go to your secondary school empty handed. They might demand for their school fees before they even give out the prospectus and that would be in a form of Banker’s Draft.

School fees

School fees varies for most secondary schools. Most Cape Coast Schools took GH450-GH500 Ghana Cedis from fresher’s last year. This year, parents should prepare about GH500 – GH600 for their wards. Most schools do not accept cash, so please ensure you have your Banker’s draft before going to the school if you know the amount to be paid.

Text Books

Most secondary schools provide some text books as part of the admission fees. Parents should wait for their wards to settle down in the school, know what textbooks are required before going to buy them. The only textbook I might recommend before your ward goes to school is Akiola Core Mathematics Text Book and Akiola Elective Maths Text Book. The GAST integrated Science textbook is also a must.

Wish all freshers a memorable first term in school.

Hello Sir,
Thanks very much for the info. I noticed that on the site we’ll check our schools, ie. myjhsresult.net you can check your raw score. Sir how is that possible? I hope it’s true. Pls answer, thank you.

August 30, 2011, 12:39 AM

koy,
I have seen the site and it seems the CSSPS want to change how candidates check their results. It seems candidates would have to buy a lot of scratch card before they go to school. Please don’t rush into buying any scratch card. Let them release the placement first.

September 5, 2011, 8:00 PM

mafia,
I don’t know how you calculated your raw score. Even some students with 06 don’t make that mark. It’s not easy to make 440. With 08, your raw score might be hovering around 415-420. That’s on a high side.

jeff tagoe
September 5, 2011, 4:38 PM

September 19, 2011, 3:33 PM

Jeff am an old boy of Koforidua Sec/Tech School and have seen your eagerness to enter K.S.T.S. I just want to tell you to forget about being placed in K.S.T.S because your grade is not good enough, you should aim at being placed at Akro sec/tech or Attc.Rewrite to better your grade and get between 10 one’s to grade 14. And try to get grade 1 in technical and i assure you that you’ll be placed in Koforidua Sec/Tech School (Mmarima Mma).

September 19, 2011, 9:06 PM

thanks ben,
can you give me the cut off marks for technical subjects

randy,
PLEASE TYPE AND SEND YOUR INDEX NUMBER TO 1060 FOR ALL NETWORK TO KNOW THE SCHOOL YOU HAVE BEEN PLACED TO.

September 27, 2011, 5:49 PM

randy,
you have a fifty percent chance of making it to adisadel. You need a high raw score. the agg 02 in maths and agg 03 in english would not help you but it think you will make it narrowly

MR. EKOW MENSAH,
MY YOUNGER SISTER HAD AGG. 25,HER BEST SIX. SHE HAS BEEN WORRIED AND HARDLY EAT,CAN SHE GET SCHOOL AT ANY OF HER 4TH, 5TH, OR 6TH CHOICES MADE ? HOPING TO HEAR FROM YOU.

September 28, 2011, 2:34 PM

massa ahmed,
Placement this year has been terrible. I just learnt that a graduand got placed to her six choice school. She had nine ones. Can you imagine? She would be placed. If not by the end of the first placement, she would be placed by the time they complete the placements

Kae
September 28, 2011, 2:19 PM

This Computerised School Selection thing sucks! It fails to generate the School Placement and after some attemps, you’re told the card’s serial number has already been used.

September 28, 2011, 2:25 PM

KAE,
they may be having some operational difficulties. The computer selection is still the best thing that has happened to Ghana Education over the last six years. they just have to get competent people to run the software. lets relax for them to sort their difficulties out.

gerald boni
September 28, 2011, 8:28 PM

mr ekow,hi.todae is 28th.i tried the short code but dey told me dat my result was pendin nd dey took ma credit without showin me my placement.if dey knw the schools arent in dey should’nt ve told us to check cos dey ve finished all our parents credits.so dey said dey wont check again.sum of my frnds re really worried.g.e.s has 2 do sumtin cos dis also our future.tanx mr ekow for ur support 2 ansa our question.hop 2 hear 4rm u.tanx.

September 29, 2011, 5:07 AM

Infact I think GES should sit up.That CSSPS card thing does not work well and just wasting the monies of parents just because they are desperate to know where their wards have been placed and so will keep on buying those scrach cards. How can ones Index No. used for BECE work when he/she uses the WAEC results Checker to check his/her results only to be told when he/she uses the CSSPS card that the Index No. is in-correct even if you are very sure of what you have keyed inn.

September 29, 2011, 5:15 AM

secondly my sister is very disapponted after I found out the feed back that either her index no.is not correct or if it is then her placement may be pending or she did not qualify for placement though she had Agg.17 when her classmate who had Agg.20 has already been placed to a school in the first list out.Is this possible?

paloma
September 29, 2011, 10:40 AM

pls mr. ekow for how long shld we wait. can i pls know when da skul placements wil b finalized…….we r waistin money on checking too much.y re dey doin dat 2 us cos we have 2go 2 skuul.hw many month do they want us 2 spend in skuul dis term.cos nxt year we wud be goin 2 form2.so help cos people re so scared dat dey wud nt get deir skuuls.me 4 instance i’m fedup cos dey always postpond de date.this really a bad year for our badge.thanx.

Please, thanks for the information given.I would like to say that Administrators of all second cycle institutions should be critically monitored to avoid the habit of inflating the fresh students’ fees. They should try as much as possible to stake to the Government approved fees. Thank you.

Please sir a friend of mine had aggregate 26 but had 7 in mathematics will he get a school? Please answer with my name.

patricia
September 30, 2011, 12:51 PM

September 30, 2011, 5:45 PM

patricia,
this year the whole placement is absurd. You might check on the phone and get your first choice. But when you go and print it out on the internet, you might get your sixth choice school or vice versa. I don’t think the result is on the internet yet. Please has anyone printed his/her placement form from the internet?

October 1, 2011, 3:28 PM

olivia,
i hope it is not three times. after your second check, wait until you are sure it is out before you check again

patricia

October 1, 2011, 7:35 PM

Is it true that the placement on the fone is a lie?

Ekow Mensah
October 5, 2011, 8:06 PM

peter,
its not true. 99% of it is correct. last year, some people checked on phone and had their first choice, when they printed it online, they had their fourth choice. So mistakes do happen, but it is not very common

get to the Secretariat early enough and see some of the big men over there. If you can write a letter to the coordinator to inform them your ward hasn’t been placed yet, am sure someone will attend to you. its looking like he wasn’t placed.

October 6, 2011, 10:50 AM

please sir my sisters got aggregate 14 and 28 respectively up till date whenever i checked the school placement on phone they keep telling the number is not found on the list. Re-check that you typed the correct number. If it is correct, then ur placement is pending.And i learnt its up to aggregate 30 so please how long are we to wait for thee pending results

Ekow Mensah
October 6, 2011, 4:41 PM

akua,
the agg 14 should get a school easily, when was the last time you checked. The agg 28 is what am not sure about. Did your sister make grade 07 in Maths, English or Science, if the answer is yes, then she did not qualify to be placed, if no, then go to the Secretariat and lodge a complaint. She ought to be placed.

Hi Mr Ekow, the breakdown u gave about ur sch’s placement means that mayflower is one of the best first cycle schools in the country. Do you have boarding facilities? How many students sat for the exams? Am considering sending my son to ur school.

Ekow Mensah
October 7, 2011, 8:53 PM

Mr Kyei,
where do you live and which school is your child attending? We presented 24 students and they all made their first choice school to God’s Glory. Unfortunately, we don’t have boarding facilities.

eric
October 8, 2011, 12:53 AM

Mr.Eckow when you are told you are on the placement list, but placement to a school will be completed… does it 100% mean that you are surely going to be placed?

Ekow Mensah

When will the site be ready for printing of the school placement form? I still cannot get it as at one and half hours ago. The response I always get is “The index number is wrong” which is strange – with the same index number I had the results and later, a response from the texting indicating the school. What is really happening?

Ekow Mensah

It seems they have not uploaded all the placement information on the net. You will have to wait until it is uploaded before you check again.

Mohammed
October 12, 2011, 7:03 PM

Mr. Ekow, I have been reading most of your answers you give parents and students. Thanks for your help. My problem with the placement is that, my ward was place in a day school in the Brim North with a hostel facility which I did not select for her. What can I do or how can I get in touch with the co-ordinator or whoever for him/her to have my concerned addressed ? Please I beg you I need you help.

Mohammed
October 12, 2011, 7:10 PM

Please, Mohammed again, kindly give me the direction to the office of whoever I should go and see. Thanks.

Ekow Mensah
October 12, 2011, 7:26 PM

mohammed,
quite unfortunate your ward was placed to a school she did not choose. Please write a petition to the co-ordinator and explain your situation. You have to do that quick. They might get her to a better school before the close of the placement. Their office is opposite the morning star school at cantoments. Its not too far from the danquah circle. Place your petition there and try and speak to the coordinator. What grade did your ward make and what was her first three choice?

Mohammed
October 12, 2011, 9:53 PM

Thanks for your answers, my ward had 25 which I am not happy about.
These are the first three choice : 1. Okuapeman SHS, 2. Mfantsiman Girls SHS, 3. Adonten SHS, 4. Nsaba Presby SHS, 5. Potsin T.I. Ahmadiyya SHS, and 6. Methodist Girls SHS.
I send the index No. to a short code 1477 and the schools given was the same except that Adonten did not appear but with Ayirebi SHS which is a day school. I know my ward can not get first four but at least fifth and sixth what do you think ? Any help ?

Ekow Mensah
October 13, 2011, 6:53 PM

mohammed,
check it on vodafone or tigo’s network to see if they will place him/her at the same school. I presume they attended a public JHS? Honestly, if you are well to be I would have advised you to allow them to go to a private SHS, get a class teacher for them at home, force them to write NOv/Dec in form two and just pray they make a good grade to go to Tech, Legon or UDS. A private secondary school would be more affordable than a private University?

eric

Mr Ekow i am still waiting to hear from you.

Mr. Ekow what is really happening most candidates in the Ashanti region has not been placed especially those in Government schools when at all will the GES finish with the school placement bcos we are fed up of waiting. i’ve tested my sisters index # to the short code 1060 on both MTN and Vodafone but still they’ve not reply me. i call them and they said GES have not updated the placement yet so they’ll reply me once they (GES) bring the list. my sisters are really worried.

October 17, 2011, 12:43 PM

Gud Day sir. Does it mean we are not going 2 school dis term or what? Why is GES doing dis 2 our lives? I suggest we go on demonstration to the office. Because dey said 17th and now they are saying 18th and today is the 18th and the page is not even opening again. I think if the placement is not out today we all have to do something because time is running out.

I beg take it easy. I know you are tired of staying at home. When I called Mfanstipim today, they have not even received the list of students who made it to the school from GES. All the secondary schools have to get that first before candidates start trouping to the school. Everything would be over next week. I am disappointed that nothing materialized from all the dates they gave out.

Please sir i think those doing the placement aren’t competent enough to do the job. I mean how do they expect us to finish the syllabus before we write wassce if we aren’t going to learn or do any examination this term? I think they should all be sacked from that office. Because they are all good for nothing in there.

I don’t know what aggregate you made. But if you had grade 6-8 in any of the four core subjects, its likely you were not placed. If you have to write the B.E.C.E again, then you have to act fast. Most schools are registering their final year candidates by the end of next week. Your other option is to try and secure a private secondary school if there is money at home. Annabel, you don’t have time, act quickly

November 28, 2011, 10:41 AM

I had english-1, social studies-1, integrated science-1 mathematics-4 and computer-2 making an aggregate of nine-9. so what is happening please
