Govt announces free access to 2024 SHS/TVET placement portals
The Ministry of Education (MoE) says students who participated in the 2024 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) will not require a school placement checker card to check their second-cycle school placement results at the SHS/TVET placement portals.
In a statement dated October 25, 2024, the Education Ministry said Computerized School Selection and
Placement System (CSSPS) platform will now be free for checking the SHS/TVET placement results.
“Ahead of the release of the 2024/2025 Senior High School (SHS)/TVET placement results, the Ministry of Education is pleased to inform prospective first-year students, parents, and the general public that access to the Computerized School Selection and Placement System (CSSPS) platform will now be FREE for checking placement results.
This new measure eliminates the need for candidates to purchase pin codes, making it easier and more accessible for students to check their placements,” the Ministry of Education said in the statement sighted by GhanaEducation.org.
