  "account": "The Ministry of Education in Ghana has extended the operations of the Computerised School Selection and Placement System (CSSPS) resolution centres until September 18 to resolve outstanding cases of students who have not yet secured placement in Senior High Schools. The Press Secretary to the Education Minister, Hashmin Mohammed, announced this extension on Accra-based JoyNews, explaining that the goal is to clear as many unresolved cases as possible before students report to school on the specified date.\n\nMr. Mohammed stated that the resolution centres will remain open from Monday to Friday, with the hope that by Friday, September 18, the number of unresolved cases will significantly decrease, enabling students to report to their assigned schools. As of now, 33,726 students have been placed in various schools out of the initial 53,887 students categorized under self-placement. The CSSPS Secretariat has received 9,948 cases at resolution centres throughout the country, with 4,531 cases successfully resolved.\n\nThe remaining cases will continue to be processed at the resolution centres, which are operating nationwide from Monday to Friday. These centres cater to students who have faced challenges securing placement through the regular placement process or the self-placement option. The extension of the deadline follows a previous decision by the Ministry to allow students who did not receive placement during the initial exercise to utilize the self-placement option and select schools with available vacancies.",
