Mr. Francis Yaw Agbemadi
Volta Regional Director of Education, Mr. Francis Yaw Agbemadi, has directed all Heads of Second Cycle Schools in the Region to stop the collection of Anniversary Cloth Levy and other unapproved fees.
According to the letter, the management of the Volta Regional Education Directorate disclosed with grave concern that they learnt some Heads of Second Cycle Schools are allegedly collecting unapproved fees from First-Year students seeking admission to the schools.
The Directorate indicated that they “are not happy about this unfortunate development and other related unlawful activities as they do not only contravene the Rules and Regulations of the Service but also derail the efforts of Management aimed at ensuring that the admission process goes on smoothly.”
The Regional Director instructed to halt the collection of anniversary levy and all unapproved fees across Senior High Schools in the region.
“By a copy of this letter, all Heads of Second Cycle Schools in the Region are requested to stop the collection of Anniversary Cloth Levy and other unapproved fees that are captured on the National Harmonized Prospectus.”
Again, the management said they would not hesitate to take punitive actions against any Head that fails to comply with these directives.
