The Ministry of Education has postponed the release of the 2026/2027 Computerised School Selection and Placement System (CSSPS) results to Friday, September 4, 2026.

The results were initially scheduled for release on Monday, August 31, 2026, but the Ministry said additional time was needed to complete the submission and uploading of students’ data onto the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) and CSSPS platforms.

This was contained in a statement signed by Mr Hashmin Mohammed, Press Secretary to the Minister of Education.

It said the extension followed requests from parents, guardians, students and Heads of Schools for more time to complete the required processes.

The Ministry said the extension would give all qualified students an opportunity to have their information captured for placement into Senior High Schools (SHS) and Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institutions.

It said its data showed that about 20,000 qualified students had yet to have their school choices uploaded onto the CSSPS platform by their Heads of Schools, parents or guardians.

The Ministry said the additional time would help ensure that students whose information remained outstanding were not excluded from the placement process.

It urged parents, guardians, students and Heads of Schools to use the extension period to submit and upload all outstanding information within the stipulated deadline.

The Ministry reaffirmed its commitment to a fair, transparent, efficient and orderly placement process that gave every qualified student a meaningful opportunity to secure placement in an SHS or TVET institution.
