Over 8,000 candidates compete for just 800 places at Aburi Girls’ SHS – CSSPS
More than 8,000 candidates who selected Aburi Girls’ Senior High School as their preferred school in the 2026 Computerised School Selection and Placement System (CSSPS) are competing for just about 800 available places.
In the highly competitive 2026 Computerised School Selection and Placement System (CSSPS), over 8,000 candidates applied for just 800 spots at Aburi Girls' Senior High School. The CSSPS Coordinator, Sherif Sulemana, revealed that the school received 8,225 applications for approximately 800 vacancies. According to Sulemana, about 3,000 of the applicants had aggregate scores between 6 and 12, all vying for a share of the approximately 800 available places.
This intense competition means that thousands of candidates who chose Aburi Girls' will have to compete for placement at other schools once the 2026 CSSPS results are announced on September 4. Placement under the CSSPS is based on national rankings from best aggregate to weakest, with candidates having identical aggregates separated by their raw examination scores.
Programme choices and residential preferences are then matched against the available vacancies. Sulemana urged candidates and parents not to rely solely on aggregate scores for placement expectations, emphasizing that there are additional factors in the placement process.
