The Ministry of Education has rescheduled the release of the 2026/2027 Computerised School Selection and Placement System (CSSPS) results from Monday, August 31, to Friday, September 4, 2026.
According to the Ministry, the decision follows requests from some parents, guardians, students and Heads of Schools for additional time to complete the submission and uploading of students’ data onto the platforms of the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) and the CSSPS.
The Ministry said the extension is intended to give all qualified students the opportunity to complete the required processes and ensure that their information is properly captured for placement into Senior High Schools (SHSs) and Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institutions.
It further disclosed that about 20,000 qualified students have not yet had their school choices uploaded onto the CSSPS platform by their Heads of Schools, parents or guardians.
The Ministry explained that the additional time is meant to prevent pending data submissions from excluding affected students from participating in the placement process.
Parents, guardians, students and Heads of Schools have therefore been urged to use the extension period to submit and upload all outstanding information within the stipulated deadline.
The Ministry reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring a fair, transparent, efficient and orderly placement process that provides every qualified student with a meaningful opportunity to secure placement in an SHS or TVET institution.
The statement was signed by Hashmin Mohammed, Press Secretary.
