Is The CSSPS Portal Working; GES Gives Latest Update On How To Access The Website

Though the 2023 SHS Placement has been released, several students are finding it difficult to access the school placement portal.

Ghana Education Service has reacted to this trending issue and has made it clear that the issue is as a result of the number of persons visiting the website at a particular time.

GES added that the website is currently working fine. All persons having issues accessing the site will have to wait for a while or access it later.

‘The cssp.gov.gh site is up. Please be patient and keep trying. Many people are on it now. Thank you‘

This comes after the Minsitry of Education and the Ghana Education Service released the school placement for the 2023 academic year. In a press conference on Wednesday, the director of GES revealed that out of 547,329 registered candidates, 538,399 candidates qualified for placement. This clearly means that a total of 8,930 candidates were not placed in any senior high school or any TVET institution in the country. These are likely to be the candidates who obtained grade 9 in English or mathematics or in most subjects.

For this reason, they cannot start their secondary Education this year. If they want to access free SHS that will be in 2024 after they have retake the BECE as a private BECE candidate and excel before they can go to school.

Dr. Eric Nkansah added that a total of 322,780, representing 69.24% of the qualified students have been placed in at least one of their choices. However, 165,601 candidates, representing 37.76% could not be matched with any of their choices. All such students will therefore do self placement.

All candidates must visit www.cssps.gov.gh and check their results with their purchased vouchers.

select:

Day within the catchment area displays only schools with Vacancies within 16km of the JHS the candidate attended.
Day outside catchment area displays all schools with day vacancies.
The last part is the programme choice. Candidates will have to choose their preferred programme.
After going through this, candidates are required to print out the form and proceed to the school enrollment.
Everything is put in place to ensure that all qualified graduates of BECE get schools to attend through the CSSPS and the self-placement system.
