The Ministry of Education has announced that the school selection process for the 2023 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) candidates is set to begin on August 23, 2023, and continue until September 04, 2023.
This marks a crucial step for these young students as they embark on their journey toward higher education.
Candidates are expected to collect the selection forms during this period and duly fill them out before submitting them to their respective Junior High School (JHS) head teachers.
The Ministry aims to streamline the process, ensuring that each student's transition is as smooth as possible.
To enhance transparency and offer comprehensive guidance to both candidates and their guardians, the Ministry has developed an informative video.
This video elaborates on the intricacies of the school selection guidelines, providing invaluable insights into the process.
It's heartening to note that this video will not only be available in schools but also broadcast on various television networks across the nation.
For easy accessibility, the Ministry has taken a step further by making the video and selection forms available on the official website of the Free Senior High School (SHS) Secretariat at www.freeshs.net.
This digital approach underscores the Ministry's commitment to leveraging technology for the betterment of education.
To facilitate a better understanding of the selection process, the Ministry has scheduled school showings of the selection guidelines video from August 21, 2023, to August 25, 2023.
During this period, schools will organize sessions for candidates and their parents or guardians to watch the video together, ensuring that everyone is on the same page.
As part of its efforts to ensure that each school is well-informed, the Ministry has delegated the responsibility of communicating the specific date and time of the school showing to each JHS head teacher.
This personalized approach aims to avoid any confusion and to make sure that candidates and their families are well-prepared for this crucial phase.
With this proactive approach to school selection, the Ministry of Education is paving the way for a seamless transition from junior high to senior high education for the 2023 BECE candidates.
