The Ghana Education Service (GES) has announced that the 2025 school placement exercise will officially kick off on September 17, 2025.
The announcement was delivered by GES Director-General, Professor Ernest Kofi Davis, during a media briefing on Wednesday, August 27, following the release of provisional results for the 2025 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE).
According to Prof. Davis, students who secure placements are expected to report to their respective schools between October 18 and October 20, 2025, marking the beginning of a new academic journey for thousands of young Ghanaians.
In a bid to minimize errors in the placement process, GES has introduced a special review window. From September 1 to September 8, 2025, candidates can log on to the Computerised School Selection and Placement System (CSSPS) portal to verify key details such as gender, school code, and programme code. This step is designed to allow candidates and parents to correct any mistakes before final placements are made.
“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,” Prof. Davis explained, noting that the process will be supported by an explainer video to guide parents through the verification steps.
He further cautioned parents and candidates against making payments to secure placement in particular schools, emphasizing that the entire process will be fair, transparent, and based strictly on merit.
As anticipation builds, the GES urges all candidates and parents to take advantage of the review window and prepare for the upcoming academic year with confidence.
