The Ghana Education Service (GES) has announced an extension of the deadline for the 2025 school selection process to Wednesday, June 25, 2025.
The new deadline is to allow the 2025 BECE candidates more time to complete their choices following the inclusion of private Senior High Schools (SHSs) in the selection system.
GES has explained that a supplementary register containing the newly added private SHSs has been attached to aid students in their selection process.
The Service has therefore, in a statement, directed all Regional Directors of Education to ensure the new deadline is communicated to Metro, Municipal, and District Directors, and by extension to all JHS final-year students through their school heads.
“This extension has become necessary due to the inclusion of private Senior High Schools in the selection process, allowing candidates additional time to make well-informed choices,” the statement noted.
Pupils have also been advised to consult with teachers, parents, and guardians before finalising their selections.
Meanwhile, GES says all existing guidelines and procedures remain unchanged, except for the updated school list that now features selected private SHSs
