Remember, it would help if you realized schools may have their specific prospectus.

Nevertheless, it will not significantly vary from what Educareguide has given above.

Thus, you should confirm and cross-check specifically from the school before making purchases or procurements.

Usually, GES will allow som Senior High Schools (i.e. SHS) in Ghana to vary their prospectus marginally to suit situational and environmental factors when the need arise.

    Please my child was posted to Ashanti Region 4th choice, the nature of my work it will be difficult for me to send her there. I prefer a school in Eastern Region. She had aggregate 13. Please help me.

    1. These are the steps you should take:
      1. Do not go to the school in Ashanti Region to accept the first admission. It will worsen the problem.
      2. Go to a School of your choice in the Eastern Region to look for admission vacancies for the child.
      3. The Headmaster of the School will submit your Child’s name to the placement centre for reposting.
      4. When it goes through, you will login to the placement portal to print your placement letter and submit it to the School.
      5. Remember you need to submit it to your Child’s Basic School for Endorsement before you send it to the SHS school placed.
      6. Also you will need Two(2) Passport Pictures of your Child and One(1) Passport Picture of the Parent for the Endorsement.

      We are happy to be of assistance to you.
      Please contact Educareguide if you need any further assistance. Thank you very much.

      Please my sister had aggregate 41, she didn’t get her choice, please can she get a school at Oda SHS
      Please help me

      1. First, visit Oda SHS to verify if they still have available space for new students. If the response is positive, the school will send a request to the placement centre for the student to be placed at Oda SHS.
