All students in Ghana who have taken the BECE exam will be aggregated into a ranked list.
The system uses candidates' aggregate score from 6 subjects for selection process. Thus, English, Mathematics, Science. Social studies and best two elective subjects.
After students have been ranked by their BECE performance, the Automatic Placement System (APS) takes charge and places students in the high school of their choice.
This placement is based on programme and residential vacancies in the various high schools and most importantly, on the performance of the student on the exams.
Not all qualified students are automatically placed. This is because students who missed out on their five selected schools based on their performance will have to do self placement.
Fairness of the CSSPS
The entire system is designed to place importance on the merits of students' performance in the examination and the availability of vacancies in the selected schools.
Self Placement
It is a manual process that allows candidates who do not get any of their choices an opportunity to select among the available schools with vacancies.
