CHALLOTE'S PLACEMENT STORY

The 2026 BECE school placement process is proving difficult for some parents and students, with concerns ranging from non-placement and school changes to programme and residential status issues. For Gifty Osei, the process has become a personal struggle. A single mother who sells sachet water to support her daughter’s education, Gifty has spent years working with little income to keep her child in school. Now, instead of selling her water to make a living, she has been spending days at the placement resolution centre, hoping to find a school for her daughter.
