The Ministry of Education has postponed the release of the 2026/2027 Computerised School Selection and Placement System (CSSPS) results from Monday, August 31, to Friday, September 4, 2026.
The Ministry said the decision was taken in response to requests from parents, guardians, students and Heads of Schools for additional time to complete the submission and uploading of student information onto the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) and CSSPS platforms.
According to the Ministry, about 20,000 qualified students have yet to have their selected schools uploaded onto the CSSPS platform by their Heads of Schools, parents or guardians.
The extension is expected to give the affected students an opportunity to complete the necessary processes and participate in the placement exercise.
The additional time will also allow qualified candidates to finalise their school choices and secure placement in Senior High Schools (SHS) and Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institutions.
The Ministry has therefore urged parents, guardians, students and Heads of Schools to use the extension period to complete all outstanding submissions before the new deadline of Friday, September 4.
It reiterated its commitment to ensuring that the placement exercise is fair, transparent, efficient and orderly, while providing every qualified student with an equal opportunity to secure placement in an appropriate institution.
