The Ghana Education Service (GES) has firmly refuted rumours circulating on social media that parents and guardians are being charged fees for placing their children in Senior High Schools.
In an official statement signed by Head of Public Relations Daniel Feny, the GES clarified that the placement process is “absolutely free of charge” and warned parents against making payments to any individual or group for school placement services.
The GES emphasised that all placements into Senior High Schools and Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institutions are strictly merit-based and conducted through official channels.
Parents and guardians were advised to use only the Computerised School Selection and Placement System (CSSPS) portal, established Resolution Centres, and the official communication platforms of the GES for all placement-related matters.
The statement also encouraged the public to report any attempts to solicit money for school placement to the GES or the nearest police station without delay.
Reaffirming its commitment to fairness and transparency, the GES assured that no qualified candidate would be disadvantaged and reiterated that the placement process remains free for everyone.
