Accra, Oct. 15, GNA – The Ministry of Education has expressed confidence in addressing concerns of parents and graduates the Basic Education Certificate Examination before the senior high school (SHS) reopening date of October 18.
The Ministry said it had successfully reduced the large number of parents and students who had besieged the centre in a desperate attempt to have their problems rectified.
Mr Hasmin Mohammed, the Press Secretary, Minister of Education, said this during a visit to the school placement resolution centre at the Ghana National Association of Teachers in Accra.
He said the centre had been helpful in addressing outstanding issues concerning the school placement, in spite of some challenges.
“We have been able to decongest the crowd because we have deployed a lot of personnel to attend and listen to their issues, and you yourself can now attest to the fact that we have decongested the place,” he said.
“Going forward we will be attending to their issues with speed to ensure they are satisfied and reduce the crowd at the centre.”
Asked whether the Ministry was actively considering postponing the reopening date for first-year SHS students, Mr Mohammed said there was ample time to address outstanding issues.
He said the sector minister and his team would assess the success of the exercise and decide on the next steps.
“Well, we still have some time, and when there is the need for that, I think management and higher authorities will take a decision on that.”
“But for now, we are working within the time frame that we have given to ourselves; we believe that we can be able to attend to them.”
In the last few weeks, most parents and students who visited the SHS Resolution Center at the GNAT Hall had lauded the orderly and swift way their challenges concerning the school placement were being resolved, even though others had expressed concerns.
Mr Mohamed assured the public that the placement exercise would be carried out in a fair, transparent and merit-based manner.
More than 5,000 people had so far visited the centre, he said, with many of them expressing relief at the efficiency of the process.
The centre is one of the several school placement resolution centres, which opened nationwide on Friday, September 18, 2025, to receive complaints from parents and guardians for redress.
The major regional capitals also have the centres opened, designed to handle such complaints, verify placement details, and provide quick redress.
Mr Mohammed said the Mahama Administration intended to expand the Free SHS programme, started in 2017, to provide access to all Ghanaian students while improving the quality of teaching, learning and infrastructure.
Senior education officials, including Dr Clement Apaak, the Deputy Minister of Education, have visited the centre to assure parents and candidates of the government’s commitment to resolving all outstanding issues ahead of the scheduled reopening date for form one students.
A total of 603,328 candidates, comprising 297,520 males and 306,078 females from 20,395 participating schools, entered for the BECE on June 11 to 18, 2025.
The WAEC on Saturday, August 24, in a statement to the Ghana News Agency, released the provisional results for school candidates, with the entire results of 177 candidates cancelled.
The subject results of 718 candidates have been cancelled, while 1,240 candidates’ subject results are being withheld.
Additionally, 93 candidates’ entire results have been withheld.
