  "summary": "Former National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT) President, Angel Carbonu, has questioned the current categorisation of Senior High Schools (SHSs) in Ghana, suggesting that all schools should be upgraded to a standard that makes them equally attractive to students and parents. Speaking on Adom FM's Dwaso Nsem, Carbonu pointed out that the current categorisation, specifically the classification of some schools as \"Category A,\" reflects a failure to provide equitable standards across the country's secondary education system. He noted that about 70 schools attract the interest of nearly 60% of JHS graduates seeking placement, questioning why such a large proportion of students would want to attend only a small group of schools. Carbonu argued that the lack of boarding facilities, poor school environments, and inadequate facilities are key factors deterring parents from choosing certain schools, and suggested that the state should take a deliberate approach to upgrading all SHSs to a comparable standard.",
