  • Ghana’s Education Ministry postponed the release of 2026/2027 school placement results to September 4 from August 31.
  • The ministry said about 20,000 qualified students still had school choices to be uploaded to the placement system.
  • The extension gives parents, guardians, students and school heads more time to complete submissions for senior high and technical and vocational institutions.

Ghana’s Education Ministry has given families and schools four more days to complete the process that determines where qualified students will attend senior high and technical and vocational institutions.

The ministry moved the release of the 2026/2027 Computerised School Selection and Placement System results from Monday, August 31, to Friday, September 4. It said parents, guardians, students and school heads requested additional time to submit and upload student information to the West African Examinations Council and CSSPS platforms.

About 20,000 qualified students had not yet had their school choices uploaded, according to the ministry. The extension is intended to ensure that those pending submissions do not prevent affected students from taking part in the placement process.

The ministry urged all concerned groups to use the additional period to submit outstanding information. It said the aim was to maintain a “fair, transparent, efficient and orderly” process and give every qualified student an opportunity to secure a place.
