Students collapse as thousands gather at Black Star Square to chase SHS placement

There are thousands of students gathered at the Black Star Square in Accra seeking to rectify errors with their placement into Senior High schools.

The exercise was put in place to enable qualified students to get a place at schools they may not have chosen but have space.

As Senior High schools reopen this week, a number of the students who qualified have not yet been placed by the Computerised School Selection and Placement System (CSSPS).
Students who didn’t get schools were separated from those who wanted to change their statuses from day to boarding as well as students who wanted to change their schools altogether.

“Some of them came as early as 2 am because some of them have to be in school. They are part of the green track.”
