Each senior high school in Ghana has a minimum grade requirement. There are four types of senior high schools in the country: A, B, C, and D. Those who want to get into the best senior high schools in the country in 2023 must do well on the BECE.
The SHS placement is based on merits from the BECE aggregate and the best choices made after following the CSSPS guidelines
The Computerized School Selection and Placement System (CSSPS) is an online platform where BECE graduates can find out where they will go to Senior High School (SHS) once WAEC has released their BECE results.
The CSSPS is based on six topics: English Language, Math, Integrated Science, Social Studies, and two more of the candidate’s best-performing subjects.
Even though there is no specific aggregate for school placement, the Ghana Education Service (GES) has said over the years that people with an aggregate 9 in English Language or Mathematics will not qualify for placement.
The CSSPS policy guideline said that candidates who got a 9 in English Language or Math, which are the basic courses needed to qualify for placement, could not be put.
WHEN WILL THE 2023 BECE TAKE PLACE?
This year’s Basic Education Certificate Examination will begin on Monday, 7th August, 2023 and end on Friday, 11th August, 2023.
