Haruna Iddrisu, Minister of Education
The Ministry of Education has announced a postponement of the release of the 2026/2027 Computerised School Selection and Placement System (CSSPS) results from Monday, August 31 to Friday, September 4.
A press release on the subject explained that the decision 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.
The extension is also intended to ensure that all qualified students complete the necessary processes and have their information properly captured for placement into Senior High Schools (SHSs) and Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institutions.
The Ministry stated that its data shows that about 20,000 qualified students have yet to have their school choices uploaded onto the CSSPS platform by their heads of schools, parents or guardians, noting that the additional time would help ensure that outstanding submissions do not prevent eligible students from participating in the placement exercise.
It further urged all affected stakeholders to use the extension to submit and upload outstanding information within the revised timeframe.
The Ministry has assured the public of its commitment to conduct a fair, transparent, efficient and orderly placement process that gives every qualified student a meaningful opportunity to secure admission to a SHS or TVET institution.
