The Ghana Education Service (GES) has announced that the results of the 2024 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) will be released in the coming weeks of October.
In an official statement, Cassandra Twum Ampofo, the Head of Public Relations at GES, confirmed that the West African Examination Council (WAEC) has completed processing the results and that the placement of qualified candidates into Senior High Schools (SHS) has been finalized.
Key Information on SHS Placement
Out of 569,095 candidates who qualified for placement, 451,797 have been successfully assigned to their selected schools through the Computerized School Selection and Placement System (CSSPS).
However, several students encountered issues due to errors made when filling out their CSSPS forms.
To assist these students, a WhatsApp contact (053 451 7153) has been provided, allowing them and their guardians to correct any details.
Examination Malpractices and Withheld Result’s
The GES also revealed that WAEC identified multiple cases of examination malpractice, resulting in the withholding of 10,898 candidates' results for further investigation.
GES assured that these cases are under review, and the affected candidates will be informed once investigations are complete.
Self-Placement for Unassigned Students
For candidates who were not placed in any of their chosen schools, GES has introduced a self-placement system.
This system allows students to manually select from available schools through an online portal, giving them a chance to secure a place at a school that meets their preferences.

The service emphasized the importance of working together to ensure that all eligible candidates are placed without issues.
GES is commitment to ensuring a seamless placement process and encouraging stakeholder engagement.
