How To Check 2025 School Placement on CSSPS Portal, Checking Process, and FAQs

There are three major questions students and parents are asking Ghana Education News about the 2025 School Placements. This post provides clear and authoritative answers. The school placements can only be checked on the official CSSPS Portal, which is managed by the Ministry of Education (MoE).

What is the CSSPS?

The Computerized School Selection and Placement System (CSSPS) is a computerized platform designed to match graduating Junior High School students with Senior High Schools and TVET institutions. Placements are determined based on:

• Academic performance in the BECE examination.

• Program preferences made during the school selection phase.

• Available vacancies in schools.

This explanation is officially provided by the Ministry of Education through the CSSPS portal.
