CSSPS: BECE candidates to choose schools after results under new system
The Government has announced a significant reform to the school placement process, requiring candidates of the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) to select their preferred Senior High Schools only after the release of their results.
The Minister for Education, Haruna Iddrisu, explained that the new policy is aimed at strengthening the Computerised School Selection and Placement System (CSSPS) and enabling students to make more informed decisions.
Speaking to the media on Wednesday, April 1, he disclosed that candidates will be given a one-week window after the release of their results to choose their schools.
He noted that under the previous system, students selected schools without knowing their academic performance, which often affected placement outcomes. “In the past, students selected schools without knowing their aggregate, and that affected the placement system. This time, we will provide a mandatory one-week period after results are declared for students to confirm their choices based on their performance,” he said.
