CSSPS Placement Portal Crashes After Heavy Traffic as Thousands Rush to Check Their School Placements

CSSPS Placement Portal Crashes as Thousands Rush to Check Schools.

The Computerized School Selection and Placement System (CSSPS) platform has temporarily gone down due to a massive surge in students and parents seeking to check their 2025 school placements. 

The release of placement details by the Ministry of Education on Tuesday evening triggered an overwhelming rush, with thousands of Junior High School graduates simultaneously attempting to access the system. The unusually high traffic slowed down the platform and eventually caused it to crash, leaving many students and parents anxious and frustrated.

Several users reported prolonged loading times, error messages, and failed login attempts, while others who managed to access the site struggled to complete the process. Although the Ghana Education Service (GES) and the CSSPS Secretariat have not yet issued an official response, ICT experts note that such problems are typical within the first 24 hours of release when online activity reaches its highest point. 

Students are therefore encouraged to remain patient and attempt checks during less congested hours. Placement information remains available on the official CSSPS website at www.cssps.gov.gh and through USSD codes provided by the Ministry.

The 2025 placement marks a crucial stage for candidates who sat for the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE), as it determines admission into Senior High Schools and Technical or Vocational institutions for the upcoming academic year. 

Parents and guardians, however, are calling for stronger digital infrastructure to manage the annual demand, arguing that the process of securing a school placement is stressful enough without the added frustration of technical breakdowns.
