Outstanding challenges in school placement will be addressed before schools reopen – Education Minister
Haruna Iddrisu, the Minister of Education, on Wednesday assured students and parents that the outstanding challenges in the Senior High School placement will be addressed before schools reopen.
Education Minister Haruna Iddrisu has pledged to resolve outstanding issues in the Senior High School placement system before schools reopen. During a visit to the National Resolution Centre in Accra, Iddrisu underscored the government's commitment to ensuring every student is accommodated. He emphasized that all concerns raised at the Centre would be addressed promptly.
The Minister praised the dedication of the Centre's staff and reported that many cases had already been resolved since its activation. Plans are underway for a thorough review of Ghana's Computerised School Selection and Placement System (CSSPS), following a request for increased transparency and accountability from the Ghana Catholic Bishops’ Conference.
A Technical Working Committee will be formed post the current placement process to evaluate the system's components and identify improvement areas. The Ministry affirmed that the CSSPS operates on a merit-based principle, prioritizing academic merit over protocol in student placement.
