The Management of Ghana Education Service has disclosed that some 151,266 candidates who are qualified for placement into the country’s Secondary, Technical and Vocational schools were not matched to any of the five schools they chose.
This number represents 30.59% of the total students who qualified for placement. However, a total of 343,264 candidates have been automatically placed in schools that matched their grades.
The 151,266 candidates can therefore only be placed in a secondary school if they opt for the Self Placement option available.
For a candidate to know whether he or she has been placed in a school of choice, that candidate must access the placement on the official school placement portal CSSPS.GOV.GH
Students will need their placement cards or pin codes and should ensure they add 20 to the end of their index number. Where the 20 represents the year in which the examination was taken by the candidate.
We wish candidates the best of luck when the 2020 School placement portal is finally opened.
