Ferdinand | EducationGhana | October 19 |GES Requests Data of Pupils for the Conduct of the 2023 National Standardized Test

“The GES is collecting up-to-date enrollment data of primary two (2) and primary four learners from public and private schools across Ghana to prepare for the 2023 National Standardized Test. Find out the requirements and why this data is crucial.”

Accra, Ghana – The Ghana Education Service (GES) is currently in the process of gathering critical data in preparation for the 2023 National Standardized Test (NST).

In an official directive issued by Prince C. Agyemang-Duah (Mr), the Acting Director of the Schools and Instructions Division of GES, the service is urgently soliciting the most recent enrollment information for students in primary two (2) and primary four.

The scope of this data collection includes learners from both public and private basic schools across the country.

The data to be provided must conform to a specific format – Excel – and should be meticulously organized by district, circuit, and gender.

As the data collection process proceeds, the GES has sent out reminders to all regional directors, emphasizing their role in transmitting this directive to metro, municipal, and district directors of education.

It is their responsibility to ensure the timely collection of this data in accordance with the template provided by the GES.

Once collected and organized, the regional directors are entrusted with the task of collating the complete dataset, which will then be submitted to GES headquarters. The deadline for this comprehensive data submission is set for October 19, 2023.

A noteworthy point of emphasis from the GES is the firm caution against individual schools or districts directly submitting documents to the provided email address.

To streamline the data collection process and maintain uniformity, all relevant data must be routed through established administrative channels.

The data being gathered plays a crucial role in ensuring the efficient and effective conduct of the upcoming 2023 National Standardized Test.

The GES’s commitment to maintaining high standards in educational assessment is epitomized by this meticulous data collection process.

This comprehensive and accurate dataset will enable GES to analyze and evaluate pupil and school performance effectively.

The information will be used to create informative reports and insights that can further improve the education system’s quality control efforts.

This initiative underscores the GES’s dedication to providing quality education and the vital role that data collection plays in achieving this mission.
