Gov’t “throws out” Free SHS policy review calls by CHASS
Free SHS policy review suggestion emanating from the Conference of Heads of Assisted Senior High Schools (CHASS) has been thrown out by the government.
They called for the review to allow parents to contribute and support the programme financially. However, the Akufo-Addo administration has rejected the recommendation.
The association made the call during its 58th annual Conference held in Cape Coast. The President of the CHASS, Alhaji Yakub Abubakar in making the recommendation said, it was time for the government to give the reviewing of the policy a consideration after three years of its implementation.
Two critical reviews the association tabled include
The restoration of PTA’s to support programme and schools which will also help free some of the investments being made in the Free SHS for the basic level.
Government’s acceptance of the recommendation would mean the reintroduction of the PTA and other related dues which will also lead to parents making financial commitments to their ward’s education at the Senior High School level.
The review would help to address challenges confronting the Free SHS in other for it to produce a fruitful outcome.
The Executive Director of the Africa Education Watch, Mr Kofi Asare has added his voice to the call. In a social media post, he said
“One cannot ‘fully’ finance secondary without under-financing basic, as the case is in Ghana today. So please, GoG, allow PTAs to support, so you can free some resources to basic”
