Education Ministry Reschedules 2026/2027 School Placement Results to September 4

The Ministry of Education has announced the rescheduling of the release of the 2026/2027 Computerised School Selection and Placement System (CSSPS) results from Monday, August 31, 2026, to Friday, September 4, 2026.

The Ministry announced in a press statement dated August 30, 2026, explaining that 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.

According to the Ministry, the extension is intended to give all qualified students sufficient time to complete the required processes and ensure that their information is properly captured in the system for placement into Senior High Schools (SHSs) and Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institutions.

The Ministry disclosed that approximately 20,000 qualified students had, as of the date of the statement, not yet had their school choices uploaded onto the CSSPS platform by their Heads of Schools, parents or guardians.

It explained that extending the release date would help prevent pending submissions from denying the affected students the opportunity to participate fully in the placement exercise.

The Ministry has therefore urged parents, guardians, students and Heads of Schools to take advantage of the additional period to submit and upload all outstanding information within the revised timeframe.

The Education Ministry further reiterated its commitment to ensuring a fair, transparent, efficient and orderly placement process, to give every qualified student a meaningful opportunity to secure placement in an SHS or TVET institution.

The revised schedule means that students and parents who were expecting the 2026/2027 placement results on August 31 will now have to wait until Friday, September 4, 2026, for the results to be released.

The statement was signed by Hasmini Mohammed, Press Secretary of the Ministry of Education.
