The admonition comes in the wake of what the GES says is the completion of placement of 92 per cent of the 440,000 candidates who wrote the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE).

The statement signed by the Director-General of the GES, Jacob A. M. Kor also cautioned school heads not to charge unauthorized fees or they will lose their position, urging them to rather manage the admission of students with diligence and professionalism.

It also assured all parents and students that every qualified student will be placed by the end of the exercise, saying the Director, Secondary Education Division and CSSPS Unit were collaborating to resolve any challenge that may arise in the admission process.
