A parent has alleged that people are demanding large sums of money for secondary school placements.

The parent stated that a payment of GH¢17,000 was requested before a school could be assigned.

This alleged extortion is linked to the Computerised School Selection and Placement System CSSPS.

The Ministry of Education has taken note of these claims.

Officials have warned the public against making such payments.

The Ministry is investigating these allegations of corruption.

Parents are advised to report any suspicious demands to the authorities.

The investigation aims to ensure fair placement for all students.
