MoE gives deadline for ‘2024’ SHS/TVET placement results release

The second-cycle school (SHS/TVET) placement results will be released by the Computerised School Selection and Placement System (CSSPS) Secretariat before Monday, October 28, 2024, a spokesman for the Ministry of Education, Kwasi Kwarteng has said.
Speaking in an interview with Accra-based Citi FM monitored by Pretertiary.com, the Public Relations Officer (PRO) said measures have been put in place to ensure smooth computer placement of students who sat for the 2024 BECE.
“I am very certain that hopefully by the weekend we should get the second cycle school placement results out and the fact that we are opening school does not necessarily mean that students are going to start full academic activities on October 30,” he told Citi FM.
The October 30, 2024, for 2024 BECE graduates to report to their various placed second-cycle schools, the spokesperson said is an opportunity for students to visit their schools and go through registration processes.
“This will enable second-cycle schools to also take the students through orientation which usually takes about two weeks before full academic exercise takes place,” the Education Ministry official said in the interview.
The 2024 SHS/TVET placement release deadline comes after the National Coordinator for the CSSPS, Mark Sasu said the placement results will be out a week before the second cycle school reporting date for 2024 BECE graduates.
“We expect that a week before October 30, 2024, that the 2024 BECE graduates would report to their various second-cycle schools, we will be able to release the computer second-cycle school placement,” he said in an interview.
Sasu said the Director-General of Ghana Education Service and TVET and the Minister of Education have met with various security agencies to tackle cases of second-cycle school placement fraud and fraudsters.
“This being an election year we know people will capitalize on audits and try to maybe cause mayhem in the system. We want to tell them that the security agencies are wide awake and if anybody does that he or she will be picked up,” he stated.
This year, the National Coordinator for the CSSPS said four types of students will be processed for computer school placement, the type of students he said are regular students, private students, foreign students and re-entry students.
More than 569,000 public and private candidates who sat for the 2024 edition of the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE), the CSSPS official, Mark Sasu said will get second cycle school (SHS/TVET) placement.
