Don’t admit outside CSSPS - Minister directs SHS heads

The Minister of Education, Haruna Iddrisu, has directed all heads of Senior High Schools, Senior High Technical Schools, and Technical and Vocational Institutes not to admit students outside the Computerised School Selection and Placement System (CSSPS).

In a directive communicated through the Directors-General of the Ghana Education Service and the Ghana TVET Service, the Education Minister strongly cautioned all heads of second-cycle institutions to desist from admitting students manually or outside the approved CSSPS process.

The Ministry of Education said the practice of under-declaring vacancies and later admitting students outside the CSSPS undermined the integrity of the placement process, created data inconsistencies, and distorted enrolment planning.
