The Ghana Education Service (GES) has firmly rejected claims that the Free Senior High School (Free SHS) policy has been cancelled, and that parents are required to pay GH¢1,500 for items such as chop boxes and trunks. In a statement released on August 18, the Service categorically stated that the publication circulating on social media was false and urged the public to disregard it.
The GES emphasized that the Director-General of the Service does not have the authority to cancel a national policy and that no directive has been issued to require parents or guardians to make any payment for the items in question. The Service has urged parents, guardians, and students to refrain from making any payments based on the misinformation circulating online and has advised the public to rely solely on official communications issued through the Service's authorized channels.
