Hundreds of parents and their wards on Tuesday, September 23, 2025, thronged the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT) Hall in Accra to seek clarity and lodge complaints over the 2025 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) placement.
The anxious parents, many accompanied by their children, expressed frustration over challenges ranging from misplaced placements to difficulties in accessing schools of choice.
Parents cited the stress of long queues, limited information, and uncertainty about their children’s academic future.
Some complained of being assigned to schools far from their preferred locations, while others said their wards had not been placed at all despite meeting the required grades.
a parent of one of the wards, who spoke with Daniel Sackitey of the Citi Newsroom, said: “I came here to change the school that the system gave to my son. Since we got here, the queue has been just overwhelming.
Some also accused the Computerised School Selection and Placement System (CSSPS) of errors that unfairly disadvantaged their wards, calling for greater transparency and accountability in the process.
