A worried mother is calling for her daughter to be assigned to a Senior High School through the Computerized School Selection & Placement System.

While her classmates with lower grades have been assigned to schools, her daughter, who took the 2022 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) and received an aggregate of 35, is not in school.

The BECE applicant selected Aggrey Memorial, Mfantsiman, and Aburi Girls but was unsuccessful in getting any of them.

Her mother entered the GNAT Hall seeking aid after becoming concerned about the situation. She gave off the impression of being irritated and angry in a viral video shared on social media.

“We are here to change it. Since the results were results, my daughter has not been happy. She told me that she was going to excel in the 2022 BECE.

She says she understand how she landed that results. Her friend with aggregate 39 has even been placed,” she said.
