The Ghana Education Service (GES) in collaboration with the Management of the Technical and Vocational Education and Training Service (GES/TVETS) have put in place the below guidelines for the school selection exercise.

1. All Senior High School (SHS), Senior High Technical School (SHTS) and Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) have been grouped into 4 categories namely Category A, B, C and D.

2. All candidates must choose their 1st to 5th choices from schools in Category A, B and C in order of preference.

3. Each choice must have a program and accommodation preference

4. Candidates who wish to offer only TVET programmes must select all six (6) TVET schools from Category A, B and C as Day or Boarding.

5. Candidates are to select a compulsory day as the 6th choice from Category D or choose boarding school from the list of schools in Appendix 3 (2021 schools register) as special boarding. In total, Candidates must select 6 schools.

Scheduled to commence from November 29, 2021, to December 14, 2021, parents and guardians have been encouraged to take a keen interest in the section process to ensure the smooth placement of their wards.

Sensitization and public education on the school selection are currently ongoing nationwide in all Regional, District Education Directorates and various public and private Junior High Schools (JHSs) across the country.

The GES has informed stakeholders to watch out for infographics, short videos in nine (9) Ghanaian Languages, flyers and the physical presence of officers in all District communities and schools for the sensitization drive.
