The 2026 BECE School Placement Results have officially been released by the Ministry of Education.. Candidates across Ghana can now check their Senior High School (SHS), Senior High Technical School (SHTS), or TVET placement through the Computerised School Selection and Placement System (CSSPS) portal: cssps.gov.gh.

This announcement is a big milestone for BECE graduates since the placement determines the schools they will attend for the next stage of their education. Below is a complete guide on how to check your CSSPS placement online, what to do if you were not placed, and important admission dates to note for 2026.

What Is the CSSPS Placement System?

The Computerised School Selection and Placement System (CSSPS) is a centralized system used by the Ghana Education Service (GES) to place BECE candidates fairly into second-cycle institutions.

Placements are based on:

Candidate’s BECE aggregate score
Schools and programmes selected during registration
Available vacancies in preferred schools
Programme of study

👉 This ensures fairness, transparency, and eliminates any manual interference in the school placement process.
