Students are anxious to see which of their six (six) chosen schools will accept them now more than ever as the results are out, but did you know that there is a specific school placement cut-off grade that will be used to determine who does not receive the opportunity to be put in a secondary school? This completes your knowledge of school placement.
The management of the Computerized School Selection and Placement System (CSSPS) has announced the school placement cut-off grade in advance of the release of the computer school placement of students who took the 2022 BECE after the release of their results, which according to a number of sources weren’t their best.
A CSSPS representative told Academic Week that although there is no exact cut-off for school placement, this year his organization will not put children who received an overall score of 9 in both English Language and Mathematics.
“The only cut-off grade we have is when a kid earns aggregate 9 in English Language or Mathematics he or she would not qualify for placement,” he said. “We don’t have a straight cut-off point for the computer school placement.”
According to the computer placement official, the school postings are based on six courses, or as we know, all the core topics, including English Language, Mathematics, Integrated Science, Social Studies, and the candidate’s two other best-performed subjects.
Therefore, he said to Academic Week, the Computerized School Selection and Placement System policy guideline states that you will not receive a school if you get grade 9 in English Language or Mathematics, which are needed to qualify you for placement.
When asked what precautions his organization has taken to ensure a smooth school placement check this year, the CSSPS staff responded that, in contrast to previous years, the school placement portal has this time been upgraded to contain a huge amount of visitor traffic, preventing the site from crashing when students are accessing the portal.
The sole website that the 2022 BECE graduates of this year will use to check their secondary school placement is https://cssps.gov.gh. There won’t be any downtime throughout the school screening procedure, we can promise the public and pupils, he added.
The school placement of the children who took part in the 32nd Basic Education Certificate Examination will be made public in February of this year, according to Kwasi Kwarteng, a spokeswoman for the Ministry of Education.
The representative stated that his organization is working assiduously with the Ghana Education Service, Ghana TVET Service, and Free SHS Secretariat to disclose the school placement on time in an interview that Academic Week saw.
“The placement for the 2022 Senior High/Technical School will be announced when the BECE results are made public in less than two weeks. The pupils are anticipated to report to school in February of this year, according to a representative for the education ministry.
Education Services in Ghana The Ministry of Education stated that it was getting ready to issue the second cycle of school postings for 2022 BECE candidates after warning students to be aware of computer school placement scams, which have been on the rise recently.
The management of the Education Service stated in a statement provided to Academic Week that it is still dedicated to ensure a seamless, merit-based computer Senior High School placement process as much as is practical within existing boundaries.
