The Ghana Education Service (GES) has issued a warning to the public regarding a fake press release circulating on social media, purporting to be from the GES. The document, titled "RELEASE OF 2025 RESULTS AND PLACEMENTS," contains false information and is not an official publication of the GES.
The fake press release claims to be from the Public Relations Unit of the GES Headquarters, dated August 13, 2025. It announces the release of the 2025 results and placements for Senior High Schools, citing the Computerized School Selection and Placement System (CSSPS). The document provides misleading information, including the number of candidates who qualified to be placed and the number of papers withheld or cancelled due to examination malpractices.
The GES has confirmed that this document is not authentic and is a clear case of misinformation. The service urges the public, particularly students, parents, and stakeholders, to disregard the fake press release and not to follow any instructions or contact the WhatsApp numbers provided.
The GES assures the public that it will make official announcements regarding the release of the 2025 results and placements through its verified channels. The service will also provide guidance on the placement process and any other relevant information through its official website and social media platforms.
The GES is working with relevant authorities to investigate the source of the fake press release and take necessary actions to prevent such incidents in the future.
In the meantime, the public is advised to be cautious when receiving unsolicited information, especially on social media, and to verify the authenticity of any document or announcement before taking any action.
The GES is committed to providing accurate and timely information to the public and will continue to work towards ensuring the integrity of its communication channels.
