The situation at the Black Stars Square in Accra yesterday was calm and orderly as parents, guardians and junior high school (JHS) graduates returned there to seek solutions to their concerns with the Computerised Schools Selection and Placement System (CSSPS).
Although there was a sizeable crowd at the Black Star Square, one of the Solution centres set up by the Ghana Education Service (GES), the picture was a complete opposite of the chaotic scenes witnessed there last Monday when hundreds of people besieged the place in a bid to get their concerns addressed but they were not attended to due to a number of technical challenges.
Changes
Some of the issues the parents and guardians complained about range from boys being placed in girls’ schools, students placed in day schools far from their areas of residence and able-bodied students placed in special schools.
They also complained about students not finding their names at the schools they had been given through the self-placement system.
Since last week, the crowd had been building up until last Monday when it became chaotic. In the process, some parents and students collapsed and had to be rushed to hospital by an ambulance.
However, when the Daily Graphic returned to the same venue yesterday, there were no scenes of anxiety, with the police taking control of security affairs at the place.
