2024 school placement: 447,698 students gain automatic admission

The Ministry of Education has released the 2024/25 placement results for students entering the Senior High Schools and Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Institutions.

In a statement released on October 28, 2024, the Education Ministry revealed that 553,155 candidates qualified for placement out of 563,339 results received from the West African Examinations Council (WAEC).

Out of these, 447,698 candidates, making up 80.93% of the qualified group, were automatically placed into one of their selected school choices.

However, not all candidates were successfully matched. Approximately 104,918 qualified students could not be placed in any of their preferred choices.

To assist these students, the Ministry has encouraged them to use the Self-Placement platform, where they can select schools that still have available slots.

For those checking their placement status, the Ministry has provided a step-by-step process.

Qualified students are to visit the official Computerised School Selection and Placement System (CSSPS) website at https://www.cssps.gov.gh or https://www.cssps.org, enter their ten-digit index number followed by the year of completion (formatted as 123456789024 for 2024), and submit their information to view their placement results.

Also, the Ministry has set up multiple resources to assist the public, including the National Solution Centre at GNAT Hall, Adabraka, Accra, as well as 16 Regional Solution Centres.

Students and parents can also call the helpline at 0308258001 for further assistance with any placement-related inquiries.
