The National Coordinator for the Computerised School Selection and Placement System, Mark Sasu Mensah, has cautioned students to be meticulous in selecting their prospective schools.
Basic School leavers are currently preparing to select Senior High Schools in which they prefer to further their secondary education.
Students are allowed to select six schools from four categories; A, B, C, and Appendix 3.
Out of these categories a student can only select one school from A, which is made up of 71 competitive schools, two from B, and in category C, a student can choose a maximum of 5 schools.
His comments follow an observation that most students tend to be reckless and only ‘fill spaces’ after selecting their first and second choice schools.
But he disclosed on the Anopa Bofoↄ breakfast show on Thursday, December 1, 2021 that the system can place students in any of the six schools they have selected hence the need to meticulous in their choices.
According to him, students are usually hopeful that they would get either their first or second choice schools therefore, they just input any school in the remaining third to sixth columns only to regret when the CSSPS places them in one of those.
Mr. Sasu Mensah therefore called for public education so that people are made aware that any of the schools students select as a prospective could be the one you get placed in, he said in the Twi parlance.
