CSSPS gives update on BECE 2023 Senior High Schools selection
Final year Junior High School students to sit for the 2023 BECE are likely to begin the Senior High Schools selection before the commencement of the examination, a Computerised School Selection and Placement (CSSPS) official has said.
In a discussion monitored by AcademicWeek, he said the Ministry of Education (MoE) is in talks with the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) for the 2023 selection of schools to begin before the BECE for School starts.

“If everything goes as planned, in 2023 we will revert to the previous school selection process where BECE candidates are made to select their preferred Senior High/Technical Schools before they sit for BECE,” the Placement official stated.
Meanwhile, the non-profit-making organization (WAEC) has slated Monday, August 7, 2023, to Friday, August 11, 2023, as the period to conduct the 33rd Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) for School and Private candidates.
The date for the administration of the national examination comes after the Ghana Education Service (GES) after engagement with stakeholders postponed the 2023 BECE earlier slated for September to August this academic year.
In a blog post sighted by AcademicWeek, the management of the non-profit-making organization (WAEC) said it will administer the Basic Education Certificate Examination for both School and Private candidates at the same time.
The Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) for School and Private Candidates, 2023 will be administered from Monday, August 7, 2023, to Friday, August 11, 2023,” the West African Examinations Council said in the post.
The not for money making organization added that “the Examinations Council will hold briefing sessions for all stakeholders who will be involved in the registration of candidates from Tuesday, March 21 to Friday, March 24, 2023.
The 2023 BECE for School and Private Candidates registration portal for Junior High School students WAEC said will be opened from open from Monday March 27, 2023 to Friday, April 28 2023 after the stakeholder’s briefing.
“As indicated earlier, it is important for all candidates eligible to sit for the Basic Education Certificate Examination to ensure that their bio-data is captured accurately and that they are registered for the correct subjects,” it noted.
