Ghana Education Service rectifies SHS placement access system
Candidates who sat for the 2011 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) but could not access their Senior High School (SHS) placement by the use of short code 1060 provided by Ghana Education Service (GES) can access the placement after the rectification of all technical challenges.
However, those who recently opted to be placed in schools in their localities as directed cannot access their results because their placements are on-going and would be completed by October 7.
Mr Charles Parker-Allotey, Public Relations Officer, GES, told the GNA in an interview that qualified candidates could access their school placement by texting their 10-digit index number, followed by the correct two-digit number for the year of examination.
“For those who opted for the 30 per cent quota placement system cannot access their school placement. They will have access after October 7. It is only the other 70 per cent candidates who can now access their placement by the use of the short code and the scratch card,” he added.
Mr Parker-Allotey explained that the scratch card could not be used after three consecutive trials as a security measure and urged candidates to get their index numbers right to avoid making mistakes when using the scratch cards.
“As we all know scratch cards come with their security features and cannot be used forever,” he said.
Mr Parker-Allotey said the placement system for this year delayed because of the dispensation for the 30 per cent allocation and urged parents to bear with the GES.
He gave the assurance that GES had put in place the needed measures to ensure Heads of schools did not under declare available vacancies in their schools.
“We have verified vacancies as declared by Heads of schools to know that they do not under declare so that they could admit people to fill such vacancies without going through the computerized system.”
Mr Parker-Allotey appealed to politicians and opinion leaders in the society to refrain pressuring Heads of schools for admission.
He noted that all candidates who gained admission through the computerised system would have their data given to Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning for the appropriation of subsidies to their schools and those who would be admitted through any other means would not benefit.
Mr Parker-Allotey appealed to candidates and parents not to worry themselves when not admitted by their first choice schools because they had the chance for their second or third choice schools.
He said GES was working to ensure that all qualified candidates would be placed in technical or SHS.
Mr Parker-Allotey urged government to review the JHS system because the vision for its establishment had not been achieved.
“The JHS is not only to prepare students into SHS but also to equip them with basic skills in vocations such as carpentry, masonry and hairdressing,” he added.
A total 350,000 students sat for the BECE this year, and the 70 per cent is made up of 172,000 students.

I am finding problem assessing the SHS placement online. Please help me out as soon as possible.
Thank you
when are we going to school
Eventhough developing countries do have many challenges but what is happening in our part of the world is adding more trouble to our country.
why because the current educational system is adding more cost to our ward education. selling of placement cards which cost GHC 5. of which you cannot have access to the results, buying units into phones without response are heavy cost place on parents and their ward especially the poor.
this even create an avenue for criminals to make advantages of the poor by charging them huge amount claiming to access their results and placement for them.
economically, if you consider the cost people incur without having access to their results/placement to be highly regrettable.
i use this opportunity plead to Authorities of ghana education service to find a better way to bring cost down for the poor so that they can also have acess to the so call free educational system in ghana.
I tried to enter my ward 10-digit index number and the year 11 as instructed but to no avail .I want to know if the index numbers are 9-digit or 10-digit please ,help me befoer time elapse .

why?is GES encountering problems with their CSSPS?i have tried several times with my CSSPS card to print my brother’s admission letter but all to no avail.GES please do something about it.
why should it cost you more than GHC10.00 before one can have access to his/her result as well as placement? I plead to the authorities in charge of CSSPS and GES to re-structure this system to be an economically affordable for all.

I wonder why some of us choose a program for our words and they change them different program.Secondly, the policy makers think that nobody is suffering.They should look at it very well.
I BOUGHT THE CARD TO SEE WHERE I WAS PLACED BUT IT REPLIED THAT INDEX NUMBER WRONG AND I WONDERING WHY SOME 41 BUT THEY HAD ODA SHS WHY SOME HAD 30 12 19 35 BUT THEY DID NOT HAD A SCHOOL WHY PLS IF I MAY ASK?
i will like to commend GES for their great works but i feel they been unfair and making the lifes of students miserable.Taking a critical look at this situation a student acquires aggregate10 in the BECE results and later get his THIRD Choice with a raw score of 421 and another student acquires aggregate 12 with a raw score of 350 nd rather get his first choice into one of the best schools presently….How possible!!!! Authorities should please look into this matter because its becoming unbearable ……..nd hw wld u feel if you were in the shoes of either the student or the parent?
