The CSSPS portal to check SHS placement has been opened, but there are some restrictions.

The portal for the Computerized School Selection and Placement System (CSSPS) at https://cssps.gov.gh, which is intended for verifying the school placement of students who participated in the 2023 Basic Education Certificate Examination, is now available online, however, it is subject to certain restrictions.

“The portal now shows a message that says, “Sorry, you have been blocked. You are unable to access cssps.gov.gh. This means it has not been opened for public access, but I am hopeful that in due course students can check their placement,” an official from CSSPS said.

When asked how they made sure the website wasn’t hacked like it was in 2019, the official said they worked with the Ministry of Education to make sure the placement system was safe.

“Recently, in an interview, the Minister for Education, Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum, disclosed that the Computerized School Selection and Placement System has been secured with a firewall, and a lot has been done concerning the system” .
