The Ghana Education Service (GES) has dismissed reports circulating on social media suggesting that there are fixed cut-off points for placement into senior high schools.
In a statement, the Service explained that placements are determined primarily by the raw scores of candidates.
It added that other considerations include the level of demand for a particular school, the competitiveness of specific programmes, the overall aggregates of candidates, as well as catchment area factors.
GES stressed that the idea of predetermined cut-off points is false and has no place in the placement process. It described such reports as misleading and cautioned parents, guardians, and students against relying on them.
According to the Service, these publications are the work of unscrupulous individuals attempting to misinform the public.
The GES further assured all stakeholders that the placement process remains transparent, fair, and merit-based, designed to give every student the opportunity they deserve.
