GES extends JHS school selection deadline to 25 June
The GES said that all existing guidelines and procedures for the school selection process remain unchanged
The Ghana Education Service (GES) has extended the deadline for the ongoing school selection exercise for Junior High School (JHS) students to Wednesday (25 June 2025).
The extension was announced in a circular signed by the Director of the Schools and Instructions Division at the GES, Prince C. Agyemang-Duah.
According to the circular, the decision was taken to accommodate the recent inclusion of private Senior High Schools (SHSs) in the selection system.
“The 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 read.
The GES stressed that all existing guidelines and procedures for the school selection process remain unchanged. Students have been encouraged to consult their teachers, parents, and guardians when choosing their preferred second-cycle institutions.
Regional Directors of Education have been tasked to disseminate the revised timeline to all Metro, Municipal, and District Directors of Education. These officials, in turn, are expected to communicate the update to head teachers and final-year JHS students.
To aid the process, a supplementary register listing the newly added private SHSs has also been included with the directive.
The development forms part of ongoing efforts to broaden access and expand school placement options for students transitioning to senior high school through the Computerised School Selection and Placement System (CSSPS).
