Education Ministry reschedules release of 2026/27 SHS placements to September 4

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

The Ministry said the decision was taken after receiving requests from parents, guardians, students and Heads of Schools for additional time to complete the submission and uploading of students’ data.

In a statement issued on Sunday, August 30, and signed by the Ministry’s Press Secretary, Hashmin Mohammed, the ministry said about 20,000 qualified students are yet to have their school choices uploaded onto the CSSPS platform, potentially preventing them from participating in the placement process.

“In response to these requests, the Ministry has decided to reschedule the release of the 2026/2027 Computerised School Selection and Placement System (CSSPS) results from Monday, 31st August 2026 to Friday, 4th September 2026," it read in part.

The Ministry explained that the extension would allow all qualified students to complete the necessary processes and have their information captured for placement in Senior High Schools (SHS) and Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institutions.

It urged parents, guardians, students and Heads of Schools to use the additional time to submit and upload all outstanding information within the new deadline.

“This extension will enable all qualified students to complete the required processes and ensure their information is recorded in the system for placement in Senior High Schools (SHS) and Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institutions," it added.
