How to do Free SHS School Self placement
Self-placement is a term used during the Free SHS school placement to mean giving a student who is qualified for SHS education not placed a second chance to manually place him or herself.
Per the information released by the Ministry of Education. Students who are qualified to do the self-placement can change the school they choose as many times as possible.
However, once you enroll, you cannot change the school again. Enrolment simply implies if you take the placement form to the school you have chosen through the self placement module, you cannot make changes again.
