GES investigates unapproved prospectus and unauthorized sale of items to SHS 1 students
Ghana Education Service (GES) has promised to bring to book the faces behind the issuing of unapproved prospectus and unauthorized sale of items to Senior High School One (Form 1) students.
In an official release signed by the AG. Director of Schools and Instructions Division, Mr. Prince Charles Agyemang-Duah, management of Ghana Education Service (GES) “takes a strong exception to the practice and stated unequivocally that the practice is prohibited and must cease with immediate effect.”
BACKGROUND OF THE ISSUE
GES captured it in their publication that it has come to the attention of Management of the Ghana Education Service that some Heads of Second Cycle Schools are issuing an unapproved prospectus and also selling some of the items on the prospectus to Form One students who report to their schools for admission.
Some Heads are also allegedly selling free items that are supplied by the government to the students.
ACTION TO BE TAKEN
Investigations will soon commence into the issues to ensure that the right things are done in our schools, GES said.
GES also cautioned the Heads of Second Cycle Schools to stick to the approved harmonized prospectus for students.
Further, GES stated categorically that “Head of School caught demanding any item(s) aside from the approved ones will be severely sanctioned.”
GES CAUTIONED PARENTS
Parents/Guardians were advised on buying the approved items on the prospectus from the open market not in the schools to avoid any conflict of interest on the part of the school authorities.
