The Ghana Education Service, GES has assured the general public that the challenges with the Computerised School Selection and Placement System, CSSPS will be resolved by Friday.
Speaking to Joy FM, the Director-General of the GES Professor Opoku Amankwa said most of the issues will be solved by Friday which will see a reduction in the number of people gathered at the Black Star Square.
"We are not changing schools which part of your selection which you did yourself, if for any reason you want to change from day to a boarding school it won't happen but if day school today school then we could get you to a closer place, they will get it before Friday so I believe by Friday probably the numbers may have come down to 20,000 or maybe less.."

Some of the fainting, agitation at Black Star Square was stage-managed - Education Minister
The Education Minister Matthew Opoku Prempeh is alleging that the chaos witnessed at the Black Stars Square concerning the Computerised School Selection and Placement System for Senior High Schools (SHS) process was stage-managed.
Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh says people were bused to the venue to put up the drama where some parents were agitating and some students even collapsed.
Dr Prempeh speaking on Ekosii Sen on Asempa FM said: "I will give myself 85% so far as an Education Minister, what we saw at the Independence Square with people agitating and fainting was all stage-managed, someone bus these people from places. Someone paid people to take photos so they broadcast it, someone who wants to be President in Ghana is behind this, he wants Ghana to be in a bad state because of his ambitions of becoming President. So I will say it again most of the people there were bus to come and act that way"

There were reports of at least two teenagers collapsing at the Independence Square Monday, September 16, 2019, as frustrated prospective candidates and parents sought admission.
The Computerised School Selection and Placement System (CSSPS) was reportedly hacked, frustrating parents and guardians whose children were either not placed or wrongfully placed.
The situation led to people besieging the Black Star Square for solutions to their problems as the Ministry had established a centre there to address difficulties of parents and their children.
Anxiety, coupled with sheer heat and overcrowding at the centre caused some of the teenagers trapped in the centre of the activities to faint.
Cameras captured some of the fainted pupils being carried into ambulances stationed at the venue.
