“Parents, teachers, candidates are to be informed, that a bulk SMS of the schools selected will be sent to the contact numbers provided by candidates during the school selection,” a statement issued by the GES on Tuesday, 15 February 2022 said.
According to the GES, the sending of bulk SMS forms part of efforts to ensure a smooth placement of candidates into SHSs across the country this year.
“To ensure a smooth Placement this year, the Computerized School Selection and Placement System (CSSPS) Secretariat has made available the choices of schools selected by the 2021 BECE Candidates through bulk SMS, USSD messaging and online for verification and confirmation,” the statement noted.
