Ministry of Education has reversed to the old system of school selection for BECE candidates as of today 27th May,2025.
Initially, the students are allowed to select their choice of schools before examination but it has been changed.
The students are made to select the schools after the examinations. This reform seems to be stressful and waste of time for students and families or parents.
This new face of government administration sees the need to bring back the old system where students select their preferred school before starting the exam.
The ministry of Education also emphasized that, parents are to take part in the selection of school for their ward. Please join us on WhatsApp for more updates https://chat.whatsapp.com/IwYdwerq679JpLNCAQXatL
The ministry also warned the Heads and the teachers of schools that under no circumstances should they select a school to a student without the knowledge of the parents or guardians. In view of the selection, parents are encouraged to receive guidance from school authorities when filling the school selection form.
Under the new guidelines, candidates are required to select seven schools — five main choices and two alternatives. The five main schools must be selected in order of preference, with three being boarding options and two as day schools.
Students are not permitted to choose more than one Category A school or more than two from Category B, though they may select all five from Category C if necessary.

The exercise for the selection of school commences today 27th, May,2025 and will end on the 6th of June,2025.
