“It also provides information on available STEM programmes and their career pathways.

It gives further details of existing SHSs that would be offering STEM programmes during the 2023 academic year,” a statement signed by the Spokesperson of the Ministry of Education, Kwasi Kwarteng said.

It said again that it was important to note that choices made using the portal would take precedence over initial selections.
