Special Boarding Schools for 6th Choice School

The 2023 Senior High Schools Selection register has just been updated and released today 24th November 2021 by the GES.

The new schools' register has some very important updates that all BECE candidates, their parents, and teachers must take note of.

What are Appendix 3 special senior high boarding schools?

For the 2023 school selection, GES has included a new list of 120 senior high schools called special boarding schools. This is an interesting development because many students desire to go to a boarding senior high school.

This new addition means that BECE candidates can select their 6th Choice of school from this list of special boarding schools (APPENDIX 3) and still select a boarding residence status, not just a day option.
