30% quota in Category A Schools reserved for candidates from public schools – Education Ministry

The Ministry of Education has said 30% of all placements in Category A schools have been reserved for candidates who attended public schools.

The Deputy Public Relations Officer of the Ministry, Mr Ernest Akosah, said this during interaction with parents and students about the self-placement of over 15,000 students who are yet to be placed in any senior high school.

He said the move was meant to bring about equity in the placement of candidates in schools across the country.

“We have what we call 30% equity quota that we give to those who attended public schools because, if you look at the infrastructure and logistics in the government schools, we try to also create that enabling environment so that they can also have the opportunity to taste what is happening at Legon PRESEC, Achimota SHS,” he said.

 “We look at the aggregate, raw score and available vacancies. Some students choose Category B schools out of fear that they may not get into any Category A schools,” he added.

Out of a total number of 547,324 candidates who participated in the 2022 BECE exam, 539,399 have qualified for placement in their preferred choices; 372,780 were automatically placed, while 165,601 were not, requiring them to go in for self-placement.
