There were 313,000 applications for Category A schools – Education Minister

Speaking on JoyNews’ Newsfile on Saturday, Mr Iddrisu said the figures highlight the intense competition for a limited number of highly sought-after schools, amid continuing concerns over the Computerised School Selection and Placement System (CSSPS).

While admitting that the system faces challenges, Mr Iddrisu maintained that the government's priority is to address the underlying causes rather than simply manage the immediate backlog.

Mr Iddrisu said the system still makes room for catchment areas and other considerations in the placement process.
