The Ghana Education Service (GES) has announced that the 2025 school placement exercise will officially commence on September 17, 2025.
The announcement was made by GES Director-General, Professor Ernest Kofi Davis, at a media briefing on Wednesday, August 27, following the release of provisional results for the 2025 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE).
According to him, students who secure placements are expected to report to their respective schools between October 18 and October 20, 2025.
Ahead of the placement, GES has introduced a special review window to minimise errors. From September 1 to September 8, 2025, candidates will be able to log on to the Computerised School Selection and Placement System (CSSPS) portal to verify their details, including gender, school code, and programme code.
“In order to reduce the errors associated with school placement, candidates will have the opportunity to review the entries they have made; gender, school code, programme code, online on www.csses.gov.gh.
“This will be supported by an explainer video to guide parents. This exercise is expected on the 1st September and ends on 8th September. The Actual placement exercise will commence on the 17th of September. Students are expected to report to campus and begin their studies between 18th to 20th October,” he stated.
Prof. Davis cautioned parents and candidates against making payments to secure placement in particular schools, stressing that the process will be fair, transparent, and merit-based
