As preparations are underway for the release of Senior High School placement for candidates who sat for the recent edition of the Basic Education Certificate Examination, the Management of the Ghana Education Service has sounded a word of caution to students, parents/guardians and the general public.
GES has strongly cautioned the general public not to fall prey to deceitful persons that may approach them to pay money for a place in any Senior High School in the Country.
The public is encouraged to report such persons to the Ghana Police Service immediately.
The document available to GESHub.org, and signed by Cassandra Twum Ampofo, Head of Public Relations Unit of the Service also advised the public to beware of fake news portals.
GES has therefore suggested that their official social media handles; Facebook (ges.gov.gh), Twitter (@gheduservice) and website (ges.gov.gh) are followed and monitored closely for credible and timely information.
The Service has assured the public of its commitment to ensuring a smooth, merit-based SHS placement process under the established guidelines.
