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.
The postponement follows requests from parents, guardians, students and Heads of Schools for additional time to complete the submission and uploading of students’ data on the platforms of the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) and the CSSPS.
In a statement issued on Sunday, August 30, the Ministry said its data shows that about 20,000 qualified students are yet to have their school choices uploaded onto the CSSPS platform by their Heads of Schools, parents or guardians.
The additional time is intended to ensure that all qualified students complete the necessary processes and have their information properly captured ahead of placement into Senior High Schools (SHSs) and Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institutions.
The Ministry said the extension would help ensure that outstanding submissions do not prevent eligible students from participating in the placement exercise.
It has therefore urged all affected stakeholders to use the additional time to submit and upload outstanding information within the revised timeframe.
The Ministry reiterated its commitment to ensuring a fair, transparent, efficient and orderly placement process that gives every qualified student a meaningful opportunity to secure admission to an SHS or TVET institution.
With the revised schedule, the 2026/2027 CSSPS placement results are expected to be released on Friday, September 4.
