1st-year SHS/TVET students reporting date not compulsory – MoE
The Ministry of Education (MoE) says that 2024 BECE graduates expected to report to their various placed second-cycle schools on October 30, 2024, does not mean students who do not go on the reporting date will lose their admission.
Speaking in an interview monitored by Pretertiary.com, the Public Relations Officer (PRO) for the Ministry of Education Kwasi Kwarteng said students from October 30, 2024, are to be in school for registration processes.
“Students are expected to go to school to begin the registration process which also goes through orientation. So it is not that if you do not go to school on October 30, 2024, you will lose your admission,” the MoE spokesman said.
Giving assurance that the second cycle school placement results will be out tonight, the Ministry of Education spokesperson said full academic activities will not commence on Wednesday, October 30, 2024.
“Usually the tradition has been that the first and second week they go through the registration and orientation processes and familiarize themselves with the school environment then after a couple of weeks full academic activities begin,” he noted.
Scheduled to be out today Monday, October 28, 2024, Kwasi Kwarteng advised the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) graduates only to check their school placement at https://cssps.gov.gh or cssps.org.
