The Ministry of Education has released details of the 2025 school placement process following the announcement of the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) results.
In a statement, the Ministry assured candidates, parents, and guardians that the placement will be conducted fairly, transparently, and strictly on merit, with equal opportunities for all students.
The 2025 placement will be based on candidates’ aggregate scores from six subjects: the four core subjects (English, Mathematics, Integrated Science, and Social Studies) and the two best elective subjects. In case of a tie, raw scores will be used for final ranking.
To ensure accuracy, the Ministry has rolled out a choice confirmation process from August 27 to September 1, 2025. This allows candidates to verify and correct errors in their gender, school, or programme choices. Confirmation can be done via the official portal: www.cssps.gov.gh. An explainer video has also been made available to guide students and guardians.
The full roadmap for the placement exercise is as follows:
-
August 23, 2025: BECE results released
-
August 27 – September 1, 2025: Choice confirmation
-
September 15, 2025: Placement results published online
-
September 16, 2025: Call centres and resolution centres activated
-
October 18–20, 2025: First-year student reopening
The Ministry emphasised that the exercise is strictly merit-based and warned the public against making payments for placement.
“Placement is free of charge. We urge the public to be vigilant and report any individuals attempting to extort money under the guise of Ministry officials, GES, TVETs, CSSPS, or FSHS. All fraudulent activity should be reported immediately to security agencies,” the statement added.
