A lot of panic followed the high school placement results. The government said Grade 10 assignments were ready, but the SMS system for checking them failed completely at first. Parents and students kept getting error messages saying the information did not exist. Officials later confirmed the results were finally uploaded, telling people to try the same text code again. This whole process involves over one million students in the first group under the new curriculum system, who are supposed to start class in early January.

The placements are automated, based on student performance, their chosen career tracks, and school capacity. The three main pathways are STEM, Social Sciences, and Arts and Sports. Even some parents who got results are complaining, questioning why high achievers were assigned to lower-tier county schools. The education official had mentioned a two-week appeal window for anyone placed incorrectly, but parents argue that the deadline is too tight, ending well before the actual reporting date. This has caused more stress, with people online pointing out the short timeframe to fix any mistakes.
