Education Ministry warns against fake CSSPS placement slips circulating on social media

The Ministry of Education has issued a warning to students, parents, and guardians regarding the circulation of fake and digitally altered Computerised School Selection and Placement System (CSSPS) placement slips on social media. These individuals are falsely claiming that the Ministry has changed students' original placement results.

The Ministry has dismissed these claims as false and misleading, emphasizing that its internal checks have found inconsistencies in the barcodes and QR codes on the alleged placement slips. The Ministry's system and audit logs do not support the claims that students' placements have been changed, suggesting the documents have been deliberately manipulated.

The circulation of these manipulated documents undermines confidence in the CSSPS placement process and creates unnecessary confusion and anxiety among students, parents, and guardians. The Ministry has referred the matter to the Cyber Security Authority and other security agencies for investigation. The public is advised to verify placement information through official CSSPS channels and avoid sharing unverified documents or claims on social media.
