The Ministry of Education has cautioned parents and guardians against any form of payment for placement of their children in Senior High School students as the school placement begins.

In a press statement dated January 28, the Ministry noted that the placement process is purely on merit and, thus, no other consideration is done whatsoever.

“Prospective Senior High School students, parents/guardians and the general public are hereby cautioned against any form of payment to unscrupulous individuals, offering to secure their preferred choice of school during the 2023 Computerised School Placement into Senior High/TVET Schools,” the statement said.

The Ministry assured the general public of a transparent, equitable, and merit-based placement process.
