2021-09-26 16:47:57 "Mauritius is 40%, you go there and everything is changing. Our 18% will not change Ghana and that is why the President has set an agenda of 40%, what it also means is that you have to start looking at your programmes, more diploma programmes so that students sitting home with D7 will find a place in your institution."

"There are institutions that are saying we are not getting the numbers but what happened to support students offering courses in diploma, electrical engineering and after that, you're going to see the numbers going up and after that, they can go to work. And then if they want to continue they can continue. So we shouldn’t see D7 as a barrier for students accessing tertiary," he added.
After the announcement by the Minister, there was jubilation at some examination centres and senior high schools.

2021-09-26 16:47:57 Students jubilate as Education Minister orders Universities to admit D7 grade

Students writing the WASSCE are excited after the Minister of Education, Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum, charged public tertiary institutions to consider students with grades D7.

According to the Minister, grades D7 do not imply that the student is a failure hence a need for a national discussion on the accepted cutoff grades for enrollments into tertiary institutions in Ghana.

Speaking at the swearing-in and inauguration of Governing Councils of some public technical Universities, the Minister charged the schools to innovate and create access programmes for such students.
He said "Our gross tertiary enrollment ratio is 18.8%, South Korea is 73.6%, so no nation has been able to show transformation without hitting 40 to 50% tertiary enrollment ratio. Open / Comment

2021-09-25 00:40:46 The Ghana Education Service has reformed the school selection process leading to the introduction of three 2021 BECE School Selection Reforms.

The changes are as follows

1. Number of schools to be selected
Each candidate will select 6 schools. Prior to 2021, BECE candidates choose only 5 schools during the school selection phase of the BECE registration. This implies candidates will now have schools ranging from category A to F this year.

2. School categories updated
The GES has updated the schools and the categories they belonged to. This means that a school that was in say category B may either move to category A or C or any other based on the GES criteria for classifying the Senior High Schools captured in the school list for the 2021 BECE candidates.

3. Category D schools no longer only Day Schools
Category D will not be only day schools as it used to be. This means the compulsory school category will have both day and boarding schools this year.

In 2020, many BECE graduates missed automatic school placement due to wrong school choices and programmes.

The 2021 BECE School Selection reforms are aimed at solving problems that face the computerized school placement system and the situation where a student fails to get placed in a Senior High School.
