Ministry of Education reschedules 2026/2027 school placement results release to Sept 4

The Ministry of Education has extended the deadline for the release of 2026/2027 Computerised School Selection and Placement System (CSSPS) results. Previously scheduled for Monday, August 31, 2026, the release will now occur on Friday, September 4, 2026. This decision was made in response to requests from parents, guardians, students, and school principals for more time to finalize the submission of student data to the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) and the CSSPS platforms.

Currently, around 20,000 qualified students have not yet uploaded their school choices to the CSSPS platform. The additional time is intended to ensure that these students can still participate in the placement process for Senior High Schools (SHS) and Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institutions. The Ministry stresses the importance of utilizing this extended period to submit and upload all outstanding student information.

The Ministry remains committed to conducting a fair, transparent, efficient, and orderly placement process for all qualified students, ensuring each has an equal chance to pursue higher education.
