The Computerized School Selection and Placement System which is mandated to place qualified BECE Candidates to various senior high schools since 2005, has exclusively initiated a new system placement mechanism that is really going to curb the various challenges experienced last year.
In an exclusive interview on Joy Learning’s InFocus segment, the national coordinator for CSSPS Mr Mark Sasu Mensah unveiled that, this year’s 552,228 candidates who registered for the BECE will be successfully placed into 912 schools including TVET, only if they qualify.
With an increase in last year’s 726 schools, CSSPS is ready to place every qualified candidate according to how he/she have carefully chosen the schools and the program to be offered not forgetting the results performance. He emphasized that, public sensitization has begun already to help parents and their wards on the selection of schools and programs which starts on 31st October to 18th November 2022.
Throwing more light on Cluster Based System Initiative, the National Coordinator unveiled that, some of the last year’s challenge made the Minister of Education Hon Dr Yaw Adutwum to come up with the (CBS) after a challenge of 3000 candidate with the grade between 6-15 didn’t get any of their 6 school choices while there were vacancies.
He emphasized that Cluster Based System will be an effective solution to this and it’s an optional choice during the school selection but if the candidate choose yes, it will apply incase he/she didn’t get a school from the first choice.
