GES disowns fake EduPack notice directing SHS, TVET boarding students to pay
The Ghana Education Service (GES) has disowned a notice circulating on social media directing incoming Senior High School (SHS) and Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) boarding students to pay for an “EduPack set” of items.
The Ghana Education Service (GES) has rejected a misleading notice that was shared on social media. This notice instructed incoming Senior High School (SHS) and TVET boarding students to pay for an "EduPack set" of essential items. Despite the notice appearing to be associated with GES, citing the school's name and logo, the Education Service categorically disavows any connection to it.
The fake notice listed items such as a mattress, pillow, plastic chop box, and metal trunk or suitcase that students were supposed to pay for. It also provided methods to make payments, including through commercial banks and online platforms, along with contact details for the non-existent EduPack service. The Ghana Education Service has strongly cautioned against believing this false information and urged parents and students to refrain from making any payments based on it.
This warning comes as schools are set to reopen and students prepare for the new academic year, seeking information about the necessary equipment for their boarding arrangements.
