Over 50% of the 53,000 students who initially did not receive automatic placement in Ghana's secondary schools have now completed the self-placement process, according to the Education Ministry. Press Secretary Haruna Iddrisu's spokesperson, Hashmin Mohammed, revealed this on Citi FM. The ministry has reported that 97,000 students have secured admission through either automatic placement or self-placement, indicating a significant increase in secondary education access for Ghanaian students.
Resolution centres in the Northern, Savannah, and North East regions are no longer overwhelmed by the large influx of parents and students, but issues persist in Greater Accra and Ashanti regions. The ministry has yet to determine the exact number of students who have successfully completed the self-placement process, which is an optional pathway for those unable to secure automatic placement, allowing them to choose among schools with available slots.
