At the resolution centre at KTI Hall in Kumasi, parents and their wards have been turning up in growing numbers, with some reporting that their placements remain pending while others say they have been assigned to schools they did not select.
Among them is a parent who has questioned the decision to place his ward at the Mampong Akwapim School for the Deaf, saying the child has no hearing or speech impairment. Speaking to the media at the centre, the parent said he was struggling to understand why his ward had been assigned to a school for deaf students.
"He can hear, he can speak. How do you go and place him at Mampong Akwapim School of Deaf? That's what I don't understand. Why?" the frustrated parent asked.
According to the parent, he approached officials at the placement resolution centre for an explanation but was told that if he wanted his ward to attend a Category B or STEM school, he would have to pursue a protocol placement. He said the response left him with limited options, with officials subsequently asking whether he would accept a Category C school for his ward instead.
"I said then they should keep him in Category C school. I don't have any option," he said.
Meanwhile, in a related development, frustrated parents and candidates seeking solutions to CSSPS challenges in the Greater Accra Region are calling for additional placement resolution centres to ease congestion at the GNAT Hall in Accra.
Tensions are mounting at the National Placement Resolution Centre at GNAT Hall, where large numbers of parents and students have gathered to resolve issues relating to their senior high school placements.
