2021 CSSPS School Placement Dangers to Avoid | You Nee To Know
Did you know that there are 2021 CSSPS School Placement Dangers to Avoid when the placements are out? This article will touch on the most worrying ones so that you stay alert when the GES announces the release of the placements.
2021 CSSPS school placement dangers surely surface when the placements are released. Not all students will be favoured by the outcome of the placements. Whiles, some will be placed in their preferred first or second choices, others will be placed in other options beyond their second choice.
However, others students will not be placed at all and will have to use the Self Placement Module to select a school. This very group of students need to be careful not to allow internet café operators to choose schools from the self-placement data for them. Internet Café operators may contribute to the challenges faced by students, parents, and the GES during the CSSPS school placement each year.
Again, once a student is not placed and is given an opportunity to do the self-placement, the choice made must be well thought of. This requires his or her guardian to be present and be part of the decision-making process as to which school the child should be placed in via the Self Placement Module.
More danger is ahead…how do you deal with it? Check the advice…
If this critical decision is left in the hands of internet café operators, they will decide just any school available. Their decisions will be done without considering the distances, the preferences of the student. They will not bother whether the arents will agree with the choices or not. Such café operators are in a hurry to complete the process and to make more money.

Furthermore, we advise parents to be very interested in the school placement as soon as it is released. This way, they can provide their wards with the needed support. Note that, once a wrong school is chosen via the 2021 School Placement portal, changes cannot be made and the child would have to attend the chosen school.
Do not leave your self-placement opportunity in the hands of an internet café operator.
Again, students and parents must avoid the mistake of paying money to criminals who promise to change their school placements. Such fraudsters will only take your money and disappear.
Do not be deceived that, you can easily change your programme once you gain admission into a secondary school. Under the Free SHS policy, this is not possible.
Students and parents who think like this may be disappointed after admission.
Changing your accommodation type from Day to Boarding after admission is also not allowed.
Hence, avoid the danger of entertaining the belief that you can make such changes if they choose the wrong program or accommodation.
Some students choose the wrong programs and accommodations, all because they want to be admitted to a particular school.
CSSPS Dos and Don’ts for the 2021/2022 Free SHS school placement that all parents and students need to know is outlined below.
1. All students and parents must pay attention to their school choice and students need to consult their parents or guardian, if they are given the chance to use the self-placement module.
2. If you have to choose a day school in the self-placement, make sure the school you chose as a Day student is close to your residence. Do not choose a school beyond 10 km so that you can easily get to school each day.
3. Do not leave school choices to an internet café attendant/operator in the case of self-placement. Do not believe that when you are admitted as a Day student in a school you can change it to boarding.

4. Do not wait several days before checking your school placement status. This is so because you may be disappointed if you were not placed and you got to know later. If you were given the option to do the self-placement other students may have chosen all the good schools in the Self Placement database because you delayed in doing the needful. Be an early bird as soon as the placement is out.
