Education Minister Extends School Selection Deadline

The Ministry of Education has extended the deadline for the 2025 school selection process to Wednesday, June 25, 2025.

This extension follows the recent inclusion of private senior high schools (SHSs) in the selection process, giving candidates more time to make thoughtful and well-informed choices about their second-cycle education.

“All existing guidelines and procedures for the school selection process remain unchanged,” noted a statement issued by Prince Agyemang-Duah, Director of the Schools and Instructions Division of the Ghana Education Service (GES).

Students have been encouraged to seek guidance from their teachers, parents, and guardians to ensure they make the best decisions regarding their school preferences.

Additionally, regional directors of education have been instructed to communicate this updated deadline to all Metro, Municipal, and District directors. These officials, in turn, are to ensure that head teachers inform all final-year Junior High School students and urge them to take full advantage of the extended period to carefully review and finalize their school selections.
