The Ghana Education Service (GES) has extended the deadline for this year’s SHS selection. The new date is Wednesday, June 25, 2025.
The extension gives 2025 BECE candidates more time. This follows the addition of private Senior High Schools to the selection list.
GES says a supplementary register has been added. It contains the names of the new private senior high schools to guide students.
All Regional Directors have been directed to spread the message. They must inform Metro, Municipal, and District Directors. Heads of schools must also tell final-year students.
“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 GES statement said.
Candidates have been urged to seek advice. They should consult with teachers, parents, and guardians before making their choices.
Apart from the new schools, GES states that all other rules and processes remain unchanged.
