The Ghana Education Service (GES) refutes the 2025 School Placement fixed cut-off point in viral news. The service has indicated its attention has been drawn to reports circulating on social media and other platforms regarding supposed cut-off points for school placements.
The GES has refuted the claim that ut has 2025 School Placement fixed cut-off point and described the news as misleading. It clarified that school placement is done primarily based on the ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ฐ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ of students.
“It is important to emphasize that the notion of fixed cut-off points is misleading and has no basis in the placement process. Anyone relying on such so-called cut-off benchmarks has been misinformed.”
“GES wishes to clarify that school placement is done primarily based on the ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ฐ๐ผ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ of students.” It was stated in the communique signed by the PRO of GES, Daniel Fenyi, on 29th August, 2025.
It added that apart from the raw scores used, other factors considered include:
- – The level of subscription/competitiveness of a school.
- – The competitiveness of a particular programme.
- – The aggregate of the candidate.
- – Residential preferences (day or boarding).
- – Catchment area considerations.
The GES has therefore urged parents, guardians, and students to ๐ฑ๐ถ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ด๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฑ ๐๐๐ฐ๐ต ๐ฝ๐๐ฏ๐น๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐, as they are a mischievous attempt by unscrupulous persons to mislead the public.
The GES further assured all stakeholders of a ๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ป๐๐ฝ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ป๐, ๐ณ๐ฎ๐ถ๐ฟ, ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐บ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ถ๐-๐ฏ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐ฑ ๐ฝ๐น๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ฒ๐บ that gives every candidate the opportunity they deserve.
The management of the teaching service and the Ministry of Education has activated the portal to allow parents and candidates to check and confirm the schools they chose for placement purposes. This confirmation process will end on 8th September, 2025.
The GES has confirmed that no student or parent can make changes to schools uploaded onto the portal under their name by their respective schools.
The placements will be released on 17th September 2025, according to the Ministry of Education, while students will report to school from 18th to 20th October 2025.
