The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has stated that the 2025 Computerised School Selection and Placement System (CSSPS) for Ghana’s Senior High Schools is approaching completion. According to a press statement dated August 14th, 2025, 451,797 individuals qualified for placement in Senior High Schools out of 603,328 WAEC results. However, 17,898 papers were withheld due to exam misconduct. This statement represents a big step forward in the placement process for Ghanaian students who took the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE).
With only a few weeks until the results and placement are officially published, students and parents are urged to take critical action. The WAEC emphasises the importance of candidates confirming their result status, completing the Self-Placement module to select from available schools if they were not matched with their desired institutions, and taking appropriate action before the deadline. The Self-Placement Portal enables students to choose a school based on their region, residential preference, school, and program of choice. This is a necessary step for kids who did not receive their preferred school placements.
Support and Contact Details for Candidates and Parents
Candidates and parents can contact WAEC via WhatsApp at 0205550942 with questions or to get assistance with the placement process. This service is provided free of charge, ensuring that all candidates receive assistance as they traverse the placement process. The availability of this contact information demonstrates WAEC’s dedication to ensuring that students transition smoothly into Senior High Schools.
In the press release, WAEC’s management wishes all candidates success and good luck in their future endeavours. This statement expresses the council’s support for students as they continue their educational adventures. The release is signed by John K. Kapi, Head of Public Affairs for the Head of the National Office, and the notification has an official stamp.
The announcement of the 2025 BECE and placement results comes at a key time for Ghanaian students as they transition from Junior High to Senior High. The CSSPS is intended to provide a fair and efficient placement process based on candidate performance and preferences. As students prepare for the next stage of their education, the information offered by WAEC is critical for making educated school placement selections. Candidates who have not been matched with their preferred institutions can use the Self-Placement module to create selections that coincide with their educational aspirations.
WAEC’s presentation of the 2025 BECE and placement results marks a watershed moment for Ghanaian students. Candidates can successfully negotiate the transfer to Senior High School by following the supplied directions and, if necessary, using the Self-Placement Portal. WAEC’s assistance through contact information and wishes for success underscore the council’s responsibility in ensuring a smooth educational transfer for Ghanaian students.
