The Coordinator of the Computerised School Selection and Placement System (CSSPS), Sherif Sulemana, has assured 2026 BECE candidates and parents that the school placement exercise will be smooth, seamless and free from major disruptions.
The CSSPS placement is for this year’s BECE candidates is set to be released on Friday, September 4.
According to him, measures have been put in place to prevent the delays and technical challenges that have for years occurred due to heavy traffic on the placement system.
“Tomorrow will be smooth, seamless and incident-free, and people would check and have their placement in the comfort of their homes,” Mr Sulemana assured during an interview on TV3’s Daily Brief, September 3.
He explained that the CSSPS had learnt from previous experiences, particularly situations where an increase in traffic on the placement platform caused mishaps for candidates attempting to access their placement results.
“We have learnt from past experiences where anticipated traffic on the placement system leads to some delays and some challenges of people accessing their placement results and we have put in measures to ensure that we don’t experience that,” he said.
Mr Sulemana said candidates and parents should therefore be confident that the placement results would be accessible without significant difficulty.
He further disclosed that, unlike previous years, the CSSPS was decentralising the resolution of placement-related complaints by establishing regional resolution centres.
He said candidates and parents would be able to lodge complaints at regional resolution centres, where their concerns are expected to be addressed within 24 to 48 hours.
“Different from last year, we are decentralizing everything. Setting up regional resolution centers which we expect that people from the Regions, district should be able to lodge their complaints there and have their issues resolved within 24 to 48 hours.”
The CSSPS is also rolling out call centres to enable candidates and parents across the country to seek assistance without necessarily travelling to regional centres.
“We are rolling out call centres so wherever you are in the country, you could just call us, tell us what your issue is and if it is within our reach to resolve, we will resolve those issues for you,” Mr Sulemana explained.
The measures, he said, are intended to make the 2026 placement exercise more accessible and responsive to candidates and parents.
