People come here for enquires, so officials take time to explain issues thoroughly for them to understand,\u201d he explained.<br>&nbsp;<br>He said students who had day but wanted boarding would be given their preferred choice if the placement system showed that there was vacancy when they came for the self-placement.<br><br>Mr Akwetey stated that some schools were full and so parents and their wards should exercise patience, stressing that they would be placed in a school that suited their wards\u2019 grades.<br><br>\u201cIf we also scan through our system and realise that the boarding or day school you want is full, we will let you know and give you alternatives. If you are interested, you don\u2019t need to pay for anything,\u201d he added.<br><br><strong>Caution<\/strong><br><br>He lamented the activities of some persons who had taken advantage of parents\u2019 desperation to send their children to school and taken money from them to help them.<br><br>\u201cWe know there are people who are taking advantage of the situation, and take money from people. Trust the process. The Ministry of Education aims at making sure that every child goes to school. That\u2019s why we have been here for the past three weeks,\u201d Mr Akwetey said.<br><br>He added that there were vacancies in schools far more than the number of students who applied for school this year.<br><br>About 600,000 spaces remained available for students, he said attributing the slow process to the huge number of people coming in for self-placement.<br><br>Mr Akwetey assured parents and students that \u201cevery child will go to school; no single child will be left in the house\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>S<strong>END A STORY:<\/strong>\u00a0Do you have a story for us or need a promotion\/advertisement?
