An education Think Tank, Africa Education Watch has called on the Ministry of Education to consider placing a cut-off grade point for placement into the Senior High Schools across the country.
This comes on the back of the challenges saddled with the school placement resulting in undue pressure on the system.
Some parents and guardians thronged the GNAT Hall in Accra after the Ghana Education Service released school placement for graduates of the 2022 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE).
The BECE graduates are expected to be placed into Senior High Schools and Technical, Vocational, Education, and Training (TVET) schools across the country.
The centre was set up by the Ghana Education Service (GES) to help with both self-placement and replacement of students in available schools.
A total of 165,601 candidates will have to do self-placement because they could not be matched to their school of choice, according to the Ghana Education Service.
Commenting on the challenges on Starr Today with Awusi Dede, the Program Evaluator at the Africa Education Watch (EduWatch), Divine Kpe stated that some of the grades from BECE candidates are not the best for placement into SHS.
