Because of high completion rates in junior high school, the demand for secondary education has increased. As a result, several new public schools have been built, and facilities in existing schools have been upgraded.
The Computer Schools Selection and Placement System (CSSPS) trends in school placement show some disparity in school selection.
Students prefer the popular but few traditionally high-performing schools, resulting in oversubscription at these schools.
Many schools that have greatly improved in recent years are still unknown and underutilized. This anomaly, we believe, is due in part to a lack of information available to students and parents.
