MoE gives update on unavailable SHS at self-placement portal

The Ministry of Education (MoE) says it has taken note of the issue which is making it difficult for 2022 BECE graduates who were not automatically placed in any second-cycle school to choose a school at the self-placement portal.

A spokesperson for the Education Ministry, Kwasi Kwarteng in a discussion monitored by AcademicWeek said his outfit and relevant stakeholders are working tirelessly to address the technical problem at the self-placement module.

Out of the 547,324 students who sat for the 2022 BECE, he said the Computerized School Selection and Placement System (CSSPS) has so far placed over 69.24% of qualified students to various public Senior High/Technical Schools.

“The system was able to place about 69.24% through the automatic placement. So, what essentially it means is that for the remaining who were unable to match any of their schools, the system will not impose a school on them, because there are a lot of factors that go into making a determination into what school you will go,” the MoE spokesman said
