The Ministry of Education says it is experiencing high traffic on its school placement portal following the release of this year’s computer placements.
Officials are urging parents and students to remain patient and continue checking the site as the process stabilises.
According to the Ministry, 82 per cent of qualified students have been placed in their first-choice schools.
Additionally, 49 out of 70 private senior high schools have been made available for self-placement.
Meanwhile, it has activated its resolution centres across the districts, regional and the National headquarters at GNAT Hall in Accra.
These centres have been set up at district and regional education offices, with a national centre located at the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT) Hall in Accra.
At a press briefing in Accra, Deputy Minister of Education, Dr. Clement Apaak, assured the public that the Ministry is taking active steps to ease the process for affected candidates.
“In order to reduce the stress on parents and guardians, resolution centres have been set up at the district, regional and national levels — that is, GES and TVET district offices — with the GNAT Hall in Accra serving as the national resolution centre,” Dr. Apaak said.
The Ministry also reported that 82 percent of qualified students have so far been placed in various senior high, senior high technical, and TVET institutions across the country.
Out of 590,309 qualified candidates, a total of 483,800 students have been placed. This figure includes 248,038 females and 234,783 males.
However, 107,509 candidates were not matched with any of their selected schools and will now have to go through the self-placement process.
“In total, the placement programme covers 724 public senior and senior high technical schools, 233 TVET institutions, and 70 private senior high schools under the pilot programme,” Dr. Apaak added.
The placement portal was officially opened on Wednesday, 17th September 2025, and since then, thousands of students have attempted to access the platform, resulting in heavy online traffic.
While many have successfully logged on, some students are still unable to retrieve their placement information due to network challenges in certain areas.
Sulemana Sherif, Head of the CSSPS, explained the situation:
“As at this moment, the system is up and running. Because of the anxiety and traffic, we expected people were already waiting to find out their results. We worked throughout the night to stabilize the system. Some students who had pending placements have now been resolved.”
The Ministry is encouraging parents and students to remain patient and continue accessing the portal or visit the nearest resolution centre if they encounter difficulties.
