Only Category C schools available for placement resolution – Northern Region parents say

Category C is the only option left; that is the reality facing parents and students at the Ghana Education Service (GES) Northern Regional Education Office in Tamale this week, as the resolution window for second-cycle school placements opens with a narrowed list of schools.

Richard Baba Alhassan, a parent who travelled to the regional office, said his child had selected schools within the Tamale Metro, including Dabokpa and Tamale Senior High School, but was placed at Zugu Dabogni Technical Institute in Kumbungu, which he said was never among their eight choices.

Mrs Sulemana said they told her there is a school with a similar name in the Northern Region; she had chosen the one outside the region; and for that reason, the Northern Region centre could not process her complaint.
