Are you eagerly awaiting this year’s SHS placement results? Here’s the latest update on the Computerised School Selection and Placement System (CSSPS) portal and what to expect.
Currently, the CSSPS site is not accessible, leaving many parents and students concerned. The Ministry of Education recently announced that this year’s placement checking will be free—no need to purchase vouchers to view your placement results!
Official Sites for Placement Checking
The ministry has provided two official websites where you can check your placement status once they go live:
https://cssps.gov.gh
Because there is pressure the link might be slow for sometime
Common Error Messages
If you’ve tried accessing the CSSPS site, you might have seen messages like:
“Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site.”
Or:
“We can’t connect to the server at cssps.gov.gh.”
This can be frustrating! But don’t worry—these errors occur because the site is not yet live. Once the placements are officially released, these sites will be fully operational. Until then, there’s no need to panic.
Stay Updated
For instant updates and accurate information, follow Seekers News GH or GESI 360. We’ll keep you informed the moment the portal is live and placements are accessible!
The Computerized School Selection and Placement System (CSSPS), is the system used by the Ghana Education Service to select qualified B.E.C.E graduates into the various Senior High Schools (SHS), or TVETs in the Country. The system allows the student and parents to know the exact school among the choices made earlier that the ward or student got, the program offered, and the Boarding status. All you need to do is to visit the Seekersnewsgh CSSPS Placement portal
Waiting For Your Result to Display
At this time your heart keeps beeping and you might be praying since you do not know which school you are attending. Either your first choice or your last choice or no school.
Yes, some people will not be placed and will have to do self-placement.
When the system is opened all those things will be catered for.
Wait for the results window to pop up. If you are successful, the CSSPS placement checker print form option will appear.
Print your form.
Note; If the system is Busy especially when schools are released, the system becomes very busy.
One result might not come. You need to wait patiently for the system to become less busy for your results to show.
You should also check your scratch card pin and serial numbers, making sure you have entered the right numbers.
Some Results are also suspended especially those who have issues with their results or schools, you will need to go to the WAEC Office as the final Option. But waiting patiently can also be the solution.
HOW TO DO THE SELF PLACEMENT
The enrolment in most schools has been low, and one of the issues is people are now doing the self-placement but seem to be finding it difficult.
To do the self placement here is what to do.
- Visit the CSSPS website
- Select check placement module
- you will be directed to the self-placement module; Here you will be provided with a selection of schools to pick from based on your aggregate, choose your desired school as well as your desired residential preference.
- confirm and print changes
What to do after printing your school documents.
After Printing your school placement documents, the next stage for you is to see the head of your Basic school for final endorsement.
It is when the documents are endorsed that you will have to visit the SHS or TVET you got for registration and collection of a prospectus.
The SHS or TVETs will also have a list of all students, their names, Full grades, and the courses they are coming to offer.
Visit your new school check the Notice Board, and make sure your name is there.
Can I Change my course when I go to the school(SHS)
Yes, Most schools allow you to change your course if you think you can not do it.
The only difficulty is not choosing science and trying to change your course to do science. Most schools will not allow you to do so.
Some schools will write entrance exams for those who wish to do science and if you pass you will be admitted into the science program.
The change of program can be done in the school, do not pay monies to people to change the course for you.
The various courses also have sub-courses or differences. eg
General Arts classes are divided sometimes into 5 or 6 or more depending on the school’s capacity
Some of the General Arts students will do Geography
Others will do French
Few will do Local languages etc
The science depending on the school will also have separate courses
Agriculture science
Science without Biology but rather Technical
Science without Biology but rather a Geography
Some ICT etc.
You must know what you want to do in the future to be able to select the best combination.
During the Selection, most students follow their new friends to choose the combination and not because of what they want to do with it.
Proper counseling and parental guidance to be able to make the right choice.
Where the exam questions come from
Because they are new and young most of the examination questions are from the Basic school syllabus(JHS) concentrating on the BECE they wrote or something around those topics that came in their BECE.
You need to let your ward especially those going to do science read again the BECE they wrote, ask them if they can solve it now. Supervise them to get all the answers correct. They must keep learning.
If possible allow your ward to have some classes before school resumes. Most of the subjects offered will be new and will need a little bit faster teaching than at the JHS. Help your ward. By giving them that foundation for the course.
