The Ghana Education Service (GES) is investigating some senior high school (SHS) head teachers over allegations that they were selling items listed in the national harmonised prospectus to parents, according to the Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the GES, Mr Daniel Fenyi. The investigation is in a preliminary stage, with some schools already under surveillance.
The GES clarified that the prospectus did not authorize school heads to sell the listed items, such as clothing, footwear, toiletries, and school bags, to parents. Mr Fenyi stated that parents should be allowed to purchase these items from suppliers of their choice on the open market. He emphasized that no child should be denied access to education due to a parent's inability to afford an item, and the free education policy remains in effect.
GES also acknowledged delays in supplying uniforms to some schools, urging school heads to take warnings seriously and adhere to established guidelines.
