The Ministry of Education has confirmed that over 564,000 out of 590,390 qualified students have been placed in Senior High Schools and Technical Institutes through the Computerised School Selection and Placement System (CSSPS).
Since the Resolution Centres opened on September 18, 2025, they have handled 1,358 cases, mostly about changing schools or residences.
Most school change requests (about 1,100) are from students wanting to move to better-ranked Category A schools.
The Ministry explained in a statement issued on Tuesday, September 23, that placements depend on students’ scores, available spaces, and competition, so not everyone can get their first choice.
Residence changes are generally not allowed, except for special cases like health issues or family moves.
Students not automatically placed are encouraged to use the self-placement option, which has helped about 70% of those students find placements.
Requests to change academic programmes are also being reviewed.
The Ministry assures parents and students that all cases are being handled carefully to ensure fairness and smooth placements. Data for returning students is also being processed.
