The Computer School Selection and Placement System (CSSPS) assisted in the placement of 492,437 students, representing 91% of the 538,399 qualified candidates as of yesterday morning.
They were assigned to their preferred Senior High Schools (SHS) and Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET).
This is an upsurge from the 372,721 (69%) who did so via automatic placement a few days ago.
Felix A. Baidoo, Press Secretary to the Education Minister, clarified to the media yesterday that 119,716 candidates used the self-placement system to choose their preferred school.
He was upbeat that the remaining nine per cent would go through the process so they could enroll in their choice of schools, which would open across the country today.
The press secretary also praised the personnel of the resolution centres for the swift handling of challenges brought to their attention.
Commendation
Mr Baidoo also eulogised the education minister for the prudent measures put in place to ensure that anxious parents and their children did not waste much time at the resolution centres.
He added that as an institution that was human-centred, there was no way it would not come across challenges, “but the swiftness with which the education minister strategised to curb the challenges is worth commending”.
BECE results
The West African Examination Council (WAEC) released the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) results on January 25, 2023.
