The Ministry of Education has announced that the Computerised School Selection and Placement System (CSSPS) results for Senior High Schools (SHS) and Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Institutions for 2024 are now available.

This announcement marks the start of the placement process for students across the country following the release of exam results by the West African Examinations Council (WAEC).

According to the Ministry, out of the 563,339 candidates who took the exams, 553,155 qualified for placement in schools.

“Out of the 563,339 results received from WAEC, 553,155 candidates qualified to be placed. A total of 447,698 (80.93%) qualified candidates have automatically been placed in one of their choices. However, 104,918 qualified candidates could not be matched to any of their choices.

“Out of this number, 73,390 (13.27%) qualified candidates have been placed in schools similar to those they selected, and such students are at liberty to accept or reject the offer. Once a student rejects the recommended school, he/she can select a school of their choice from the Self-Placement platform,” a press statement from the ministry said.

The statement explained that students who have not yet been placed are advised to access the Self-Placement platform to select a school of their choice.

Schools selected through Self-Placement can be changed multiple times until enrollment is finalized.

“The students who were not placed must visit the Self-Placement platform to select a school of their choice.

“Note: Schools Selected on the Self-Placement Portal can be changed as many times as the candidate wishes until they ENROL in a school.

“To access the placement platform, students are to follow the steps below: Log on to the site www.cssps.gov.gh or www.cssps.org. Enter the ten-digit index number and add 24 as the year of completion. E.g., 123456789024,” the statement added.
