Over 36,000 Basic Certificate Examination School (BECE) students were not placed in schools of their choice because they failed in either English or Mathematics.<\/p>\n

“On 21st August 2017, the WAEC released this year’s BECE results. The CSSPS began the process of placing BECE candidates in the various senior high schools across the country of their choice.Out of the total number, 460,941 registered candidates qualified to be placed. A total of 36, 849 candidates (8% were not placed because they scored a Grade 9 in either English or Mathematics,” the statement said.<\/p>\n

The GES indicated that \u201c267, 327 candidates secured places in schools of their choice, while 150, 770 candidates could not be placed in a school of their choice.\u201d<\/p>\n

The GES asked the qualified students who did not get a place of their choice to \u201cgo online and select an option available within 48 hours from today.\u201d<\/p>\n

It said these students will be \u201cgiven the second chance of choosing a school.\u201d<\/p>\n

The statement further revealed that a total number of “460,941 registered candidates qualified to be placed while a\u00a0total of 36, 849 candidates (8% were not placed because they scored a Grade 9 in either English or Mathematics.”<\/p>\n

A few weeks ago the West African Examination Council released the 2017 BECE results.<\/p>\n

It said 1,298 candidates will, however, have to wait longer for their results amidst suspicions of examination malpractices.<\/p>\n

These candidates were found to have cheated in the objective test section of the examination by the Item Differentia Profile (IDP) software.<\/p>\n

It said the withheld results would be released after investigations into the various cases of examination malpractice are concluded.<\/p>\n

468,060 candidates sat for the examination, comprising 241,145 males and 226,906 females; a 1.53 percent increase in 2016.<\/p>\n
