The 2025 SHS/SHTS/TVET school placement results have officially been released by the Ministry of Education. Thousands of candidates across Ghana can now check their school placement through the official Computerised School Selection and Placement System (CSSPS) portal at cssps.gov.gh.
This marks a critical point in the academic journey of BECE graduates, as the placement determines which Senior High School (SHS), Senior High Technical School (SHTS), or Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institution they will attend.
This detailed guide explains how to check placement online, what to do if you’re not placed, and key timelines to follow.
What Is the CSSPS School Placement?
The Computerised School Selection and Placement System (CSSPS) is a centralized platform introduced by the Ghana Education Service (GES) to place BECE candidates fairly into second-cycle institutions.
Placement is based on:
- BECE examination aggregate score
- Candidate’s selected schools and programmes
- Available vacancies in selected institutions
- Programme of study
The CSSPS ensures transparency and eliminates manual interference in the placement process.
