Private Senior High Schools continue to press on for their inclusion in Free Senior High School Policy.

The Ghana National Council of Private Schools (GNACOPS), has made the call many times to the government to review the implementation of the Free Senior High School (SHS) Policy to include private schools in the country to halt the double track systems, overcrowding in boarding and classrooms.

Some Ghana National Council of Private Schools (GNACOPS), have intensified the call on the government to review the implementation of the Free Senior High School (SHS) Policy to include private schools in the country to halt the double track systems, overcrowding in boarding and classrooms as the new academic year begins.

The Vice President of Bright Senior High School Dominic Acquah believes the inclusion of private schools in the program will ensure equity and fairness, and also mitigate the suffering of private schools.

For some parents, the inclusion of private schools is apt since some parents prefer to admit their children to private schools.

Meanwhile, the Abuakwa North Municipal Education Oversight Committee has adjudged Bright Senior High School in Akyem Kukurantumi as the “Best Private School” in the municipality.

The award comes months after the West Africa International Press Limited adjudged the school as Best Private School in Ghana,2021 at the Heroes of Distinction Conference and Awards held in Accra.

Eastern Regional Director of Education, Margret Nsiah Asamoah in a speech read on her behalf by Mr. Jonathan Ntow said the liberalization of the education sector allowing private participation has enabled private schools to immensely contribute to quality education in the country over the years.
