FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Ministry of Education Investigates Allegations of BECE Placement Bribery
The Ministry of Education has taken notice of a widely circulated social media post attributed to one Gertrude Adzo Borklo, alleging that placement into Aburi Girls’ Senior High School costs “GHC15,000.” This claim, unfortunately, appears to feed into a conspiratorial narrative to create the false impression that the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) Computerized School Placement System is for sale.
The Ministry views this allegation with the utmost seriousness and has initiated an immediate investigation into the matter. However, attempts to reach the author of the original post have proven unsuccessful, as her account messenger was deactivated shortly after the publication.
The Ministry has further observed that other individuals, using anonymous or “ghost” accounts, are amplifying similar falsehoods.
In response, the Ministry is collaborating closely with National Security, the Cyber Security Authority, and other agencies to track down these people to assist in investigating this matter.
The Ministry of Education wishes to state categorically that the BECE Computerized School Placement System is entirely free of charge. At no point is payment required to access this service.
We call on members of the public to provide any information or evidence of persons, whether Ministry officials or third parties, who demand money for placements. The Ministry assures swift and decisive action against any individual found culpable.
The public is encouraged to report any such incidents through the following dedicated hotlines:
•054 154 8223 (Calls)
•024 490 8957 (WhatsApp)
Together, we can safeguard the integrity and transparency of Ghana’s school placement system and weed out unscrupulous people who seek to benefit unduly from this important national exercise.
