Result first before SHS placement model to reduce pressure on Category A schools – CSSPS

The Computerised School Selection and Placement System (CSSPS) Secretariat Coordinator, Sherif Sulemana, says the introduction of a “results first before placement” approach will help reduce the intense competition for Category A Senior High Schools and allow candidates to make more informed choices.

Under the new system, candidates will receive their BECE results before selecting their preferred Senior High Schools, unlike previous years when students made their choices before knowing their examination outcomes.

Meanwhile, about 600,000 spaces have been declared available for this year’s Senior High School placement exercise, with candidates expected to complete their selections within the stipulated period.
