This extension is necessitated by the inclusion of private Senior High Schools (SHSs) in the selection process, which has provided candidates with additional time to make well-informed choices.
The GES has emphasized that all existing guidelines and procedures for the school selection process remain unchanged. Students are strongly encouraged to consult with their teachers, parents, and guardians to make informed and thoughtful decisions regarding their second-cycle school education.
Regional Directors have been instructed to communicate this updated deadline to all Metro/Municipal/District Directors of Education, who will then inform final-year JHS students through their respective Head teachers. The GES has also attached a supplementary register of second-cycle schools of the newly added private schools for reference.
