The management of GES has released a statement, resounding with significance, to inform the public, particularly parents, candidates, and teachers, about the imminent commencement of sensitization and education on this year’s guidelines for school selection into Senior High Schools.
The importance of school selection cannot be overstated. It is a pivotal decision that sets the course for a student’s educational future. The GES, cognizant of this, has designed a comprehensive plan to ensure that all stakeholders are well-informed and equipped to make the best choices.
With a keen focus on clarity and transparency, the sensitization and education campaign will be conducted across all the respective Regional and District Education Directorates, as well as schools.
The core of the announcement lies in the revelation of the carefully outlined schedule for the selection of schools. From the 23rd of August to the 4th of September 2023, parents, guardians, and candidates will have the opportunity to meticulously choose the institutions that will play a pivotal role in their academic journey.
This two-week window represents a crucial period during which families can deliberate, consult, and make well-informed decisions that align with their aspirations.
Parents and guardians are particularly urged to immerse themselves in the selection process. Their active involvement not only ensures the alignment of a student’s talents and ambitions with the chosen school but also contributes significantly to a seamless placement process.
In a bid to modernize and streamline the process, the GES is introducing an innovative feature this year. Candidates will have the opportunity to confirm their school choices by texting a specific short code.
This additional step emphasizes the GES’s commitment to ensuring accuracy and minimizing any potential discrepancies in the placement process. Detailed instructions regarding the short code will be communicated to candidates in due course, ensuring that they are well-prepared for this critical phase.
