Parents are being warned against fraudsters who promise to manipulate their children's BECE results or secure school placements through unofficial means. Kwame Nti Yeboah, a senior official of the National Council of Parent-Teacher Associations (NCPTA), cautioned parents against falling for such scams on social media. He urged them to contact the Ghana Education Service (GES) and the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) directly for assistance with their children's results and placement.
"There are unscrupulous people on social media who are contacting parents that they can help change the results," Nti Yeboah said. He recommended using the official contact numbers provided by GES and WAEC instead of dealing with third parties who may not be legitimate. Nti Yeboah also welcomed the government's decision to conduct school selection after the release of BECE results, stating it was an improvement over the previous system.
The Ministry of Education released the 2026 senior high school placement for qualified BECE graduates last Friday night, but the process has been met with mixed reactions from parents and guardians.
