SHS placement: Education Ministry targets resolution of outstanding cases by Sept. 18

The Press Secretary to the Education Minister, Hashmin Mohammed, has announced the extension of operations at the Computerised School Selection and Placement System (CSSPS) resolution centres to Friday, September 18, to address outstanding placement cases.

The centres, which are operating across the country, will remain open from Monday to Friday as the Ministry works to resolve cases involving students who are yet to secure placement in schools.Mr Mohammed disclosed that out of the 53,887 students who were initially placed under the self-placement category, 33,726 have so far successfully secured placement in various schools.

He added that the CSSPS Secretariat has also received 9,948 cases at resolution centres nationwide, of which 4,531 have been resolved.

The Press Secretary expressed the Ministry’s optimism about significantly reducing the number of outstanding cases before students resume school.

“The resolution centres will remain active from Monday till Friday, and we are hoping that by Friday, the numbers should be able to go down because on September 18, they will report to school,” he said on JoyNews.+The extension follows the Education Ministry’s earlier decision to allow students who were not placed during the initial placement exercise to use the self-placement option to select schools with available vacancies.
