Parents, wards storm GNAT Hall for self-placement [Photos]

-

Hundreds of anxious JHS graduates, accompanied by their parents, trooped to the National Resolution Centre on Thursday, seeking to address various challenges with their Senior High School (SHS) placement.

With the registration process underway in various schools and academic activities expected to officially begin on November 7, some people have yet to secure their spots.

Frustration was visibly evident on the faces of the parents and wards who were either trying to change schools, switch from day to boarding status, or resolve other issues.

The Ministry of Education announced the release of the 2024/25 placement results for SHS and Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institutions on Tuesday, October 29.

The Ministry revealed that, out of the 563,339 results submitted by the West African Examinations Council (WAEC), 553,155 candidates qualified for placement.

Of these, 447,698 (representing 80.93%) were automatically placed in one of their selected schools.

An additional 104,918 eligible candidates were unable to be matched with any of their chosen schools and are advised to access the Self-Placement platform to select a school of their choice.
