The Ministry of Education has cautioned parents not to pay any monies if charged when they take their wards to their various schools.
According to the Ministry, the government has taken care of all expenses and all the students need to do Is to go to their various institutions where they were placed.
The Deputy Minister of Education, Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum, who made this known said the government has made the necessary provision for all effective this September, which is part of the government’s flagship policy, the Free SHS programme to cover all first year students.
He said“Students are not supposed to pay any fees. As a matter of fact, PTA-levied fees like utilities, development levy, and even teacher motivation is going to be paid by the government, as a result, we’ve made it abundantly clear to headmasters that money should not be the reason why a student should not go to school, therefore no parent should receive a bill”.
Dr Adutwum also insists there is no need for parents and prospective SHS students to panic over admission, assuring that all BECE candidates who qualified for SHS will be duly given placements.
