The Ghana Education Service (GES) has announced that the 2025 school placement exercise will officially begin on Wednesday, September 17, 2025.
The announcement was made by GES Director-General, Professor Ernest Kofi Davis, at a press briefing on Wednesday, August 27, following the release of the provisional results for the 2025 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE).
According to Prof. Davis, successful candidates who secure placement will be required to report to their respective schools between October 18 and October 20, 2025.
Ahead of the placement, GES has introduced a special review window to allow candidates to verify their details and reduce errors. Between September 1 and September 8, 2025, BECE candidates can log on to the Computerised School Selection and Placement System (CSSPS) portal to confirm their information, including gender, school code, and programme code.
“In order to reduce the errors associated with school placement, candidates will have the opportunity to review the entries they have made — gender, school code, programme code — online at www.csses.gov.gh. This will be supported by an explainer video to guide parents,” Prof. Davis explained.
He added that this review exercise is mandatory to ensure smooth placement when the final list is released on September 17.
Prof. Davis further cautioned parents and candidates against paying money to secure admission into specific schools, stressing that the placement process remains free, transparent, and strictly merit-based.
“The actual placement exercise will commence on the 17th of September. Students are expected to report to campus and begin their studies between the 18th and 20th of October,” he stated.
