The Ghana Education Service (GES) has officially assured all Junior High School graduates that they will be placed in Senior High and Technical Schools following the successful completion of the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE).

In a statement issued on Thursday, May 14, GES management extended warm congratulations to all graduates and confirmed that comprehensive preparations have been made to receive freshers across the country on September 18, 2026.

“All qualified candidates will be placed in schools. Every effort has been made to ensure that each student has access to senior high and technical education,” the statement emphasised.

The statement also addressed recent media reports suggesting that approximately 72,000 students might not secure placement.

GES described these claims as “speculative” and urged the public to disregard them, affirming that the country’s infrastructure and facilities are adequate to accommodate all eligible students.

Management further reassured stakeholders that ongoing efforts to phase out the double-track system will not hinder students’ access to education.

On the contrary, the changes are expected to enhance the quality of teaching and learning while maintaining full access for all pupils.

The Ghana Education Service reiterated its commitment to equitable, inclusive, and quality education for every Ghanaian child, calling on all stakeholders to support this national objective.
