The Minister for Education, Haruna Iddrisu, has announced that the government is reviewing the Computerised School Selection and Placement System (CSSPS) to make it fairer and more efficient
The Minister made this known during a visit to the Presbyterian Boys’ Secondary School (PRESEC), Legon, on Monday, October 20 where he inspected facilities and assessed the school’s admission procedures.
The Minister expressed concern over reports that some students were not offered their preferred programmes or were denied school choices despite having excellent grades.
“I have observed that some parents are unhappy, justified. Some students are unhappy, justified, because they chose a particular course, Science, and was given General Arts or Business. That would be a disincentive even for that child to study hard and do his best.”
He stated that the current placement system is not functioning as expected.
