The Ghana Education Service has again extended the deadline for Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) candidates to secure their places at Senior High Schools across the country.<\/p>\n

The deadline is now midnight on Thursday, September 7, 2017.<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”KnMpiI9s4PPSHPN4JMdLpqtGO82BKnjp”]A statement signed by the Deputy Minister of Education in charge of pre-Tertiary Education, Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum, said this extension was done \u201cin view of the challenges experienced.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Computerized School Selection Placement System (CSSPS) encountered some challenges, with error notices greeting some BECE graduates who have been trying, since\u00a0September 1, to access the website for self-placement.<\/p>\n

The government admitted to\u00a0challenges in the process noting that its servers were overwhelmed.<\/p>\n

A new website for the BECE self-placement process has also been set up by the GES.<\/p>\n

The original website for the self-placement, www.myjhsresult.net, now contains a link that directs users to the new website, www.cssps.gov.gh.<\/p>\n

The issues with the CSSPS began when the GES announced an extension for the placement of\u00a0BECE candidates after it emerged that over 100,000 qualified candidates had still not been placed.<\/p>\n

The GES asked qualified students who were not placed to go online and select an option available during the now-extended window.<\/p>\n

These challenges have\u00a0led some anxious parents to express fears that their wards may miss the deadline, but government assured\u00a0that\u00a0no candidate would be cut off by the deadline.<\/p>\n
