The Mackristy Academy has commenced the Senior High School (SHS) and Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) selection exercise for its 2026 BECE (Basic Education Certificate Examination) candidates, commencing Monday and extending through Friday. This initiative is a crucial step in the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) process, providing candidates with five days – from Monday to Friday – to select their preferred institutions for the national placement process. This exercise is a direct response to the release of this year’s WAEC results by the Council, which presents a significant challenge for candidates needing to make crucial choices regarding their future educational pathways.
The selection process, meticulously orchestrated by Mackristy Academy, follows the WAEC’s official notification of the results. School authorities have worked to ensure a remarkably smooth and stress-free experience for all participants, including parents and guardians. At Mackristy Academy, candidates, accompanied by their parents and guardians, visited the school to complete their school selection forms. While many students expressed excitement following the announcement of their preferred schools, a notable segment acknowledged the importance of the decision in their academic trajectory. The Assistant Headteacher of Mackristy Academy described the exercise as ‘smooth, orderly, and well-coordinated,’ highlighting a dedicated and efficient approach to managing the selection process.
The Assistant Headteacher emphasized the importance of providing comprehensive support to candidates throughout the process. Teachers have been actively available to offer guidance and counselling, assisting students and parents in making informed choices based on individual academic performance, interests, and career aspirations. “Our priority is to ensure that every candidate receives the necessary support to make the right choices,” the Assistant Headteacher stated, “We have dedicated staff assisting parents and students throughout the process, and so far, everything has been very successful.”
Parents who participated in the exercise expressed satisfaction with the school’s organized approach and the provision of supportive teaching staff. They also underscored the importance of the national placement system and called for greater emphasis on merit and the selection of schools based on candidate preferences. With the deadline approaching, Mackristy Academy remains steadfast in its commitment to ensuring that every eligible candidate successfully completes the selection process, facilitating a smooth transition to senior high school or TVET.
Furthermore, the school has announced a new fuel price floor effective August 4th, a significant policy shift impacting fuel costs across the nation. The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has issued a warning to the public against unlicensed digital loan apps, urging caution and responsible engagement with these platforms. The announcement further underscores the Council’s commitment to maintaining the integrity of the examination system and protecting candidates from potential financial risks.”
This exercise is a critical component of the WAEC’s broader strategy for ensuring a fair and equitable distribution of candidates across the country, and Mackristy Academy’s meticulous planning is designed to meet this vital objective. The school’s focus on supporting candidates throughout the selection process underscores its dedication to student success and its role as a vital resource for the West African examination community.”
