According to them, they were given prospectus and had gone out of their way to get those items within the shortest possible time to get their children report to school on the day they were told to report.

"When we came on Wednesday, they took our phone numbers and so if anything at all, they should have called us or sent us messages to that effect. The number of students doing visual arts on the notice board is just 22 so parents suspect there is more to it than meets the eye. They say they are not admitting but we have been given prospectus since last week to report today only to be given this news."

Meanwhile, earlier reports by the Ghana Education Service (GES) said no student was wrongly placed by the CSSPS.
