Is the wheel being reinvented every year?

I ask whether the Ministry of Education (as it is now known) [and yes, the link leads to a website which is still under construction, nine months after the present government came into power!] reinvents the wheel every year with regard to admission to senior high schools here in Ghana?

The computerised system is not new, and even if you have failures, does it take more than six weeks since the results were released by WAEC to do the placement?  For crying out loud, I suspect a manual system of slips and cards and assembling all the heads in one place would have solved the problem in much less time!
