Computerized school placement must be abolished – Prof

Prof. Philip Ebow Bondzi-Simpson, describing the computerized school placement system process as unfair has called on the Ministry of Education to cancel the auto and self-placement mode of posting students to Senior High schools.

Speaking at the Mfantsipim Stakeholders Forum in Cape Coast, the Professor suggested heads of public second cycle schools should be allowed to admit students into their schools just like done at the basic and tertiary levels.

Mr Ebow in his address said that the Computerized School Selection and Placement System (CSSPS) is destroying the traditions of schools and hurting them, thus the need for the Education Ministry to review the school initiative. “The system put in place to admit the students should take into account old boys/girls of the schools, children of staff, a consideration of the members of the church and a small amount of protocol,” he told stakeholders at the Forum.

Exempt ‘Category A’ SHS from free SHS – Prof Adei to govt

Economist, Professor Stephen Adei as a part of a review of the free secondary school policy has asked the government to exempt Category A or best-performed Senior High Schools (SHSs) from the Free Senior High School programme.

“We have to look at it again. I think that there are certain schools which we should make autonomous and fee-paying and people will go there, but then make sure there are good community schools for everybody else,” he told JoyNews. According to the Economy Professor, only a few of the majority of poor students usually get admission to ‘Category A’ secondary schools including Achimota, thus the need to make the rich students who attend such schools pay fees. “Only a small proportion of the poor come to Achimota, let the rich go there and pay. Use the Achimota funds to have very good schools in every district so that they can be there and don’t have to travel,” the Economist told Upfront host.

New school semester system will make students tired – GNAT

The General Secretary of the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT), Thomas Musah says the newly introduced school semester system for public basic schools this year will make students tired and lose attention in the classroom.

Mr Musah in an interview monitored by EducationWeb.com.gh said the new semester system is unnecessary for students in government kindergarten saying that “a typical KG student will be tired after two hours of studying.”“At the basic school levels, we do not lecture; we teach. We are professionals so let us act as such. The semester system was brought in to address a problem, not a permanent policy,” the GNAT Secretary told host of Atinka FM’s AM Drive. He added “There are very serious implications if we make it permanent. When the nation is changing from a trimester to a semester, we need wide consultation and negotiations with the unions, and we take a common decision.”
