At a time the Ghana Education Service has warned  and Interdicted some school heads over unauthorized fees, Bishop Herman College in Kpando is reportedly levying over Ghs2015 on fresh SHS students. 

Concerned parents whose wards were posted to the school by the Computerized School Selection and Placement System say they are forced to pay some Levies totaling more than Ghs2000. 

The Levies and charges include PTA, track suit and various dues from GHC935 being the highest to Ghs 50 being the lowest. 

In total, 9 various levies and charges are being charged by Bishop Herman College but receipt for only 3 items were issued to parents. 

This comes after seven headmasters from Senior High Schools (SHSs) in the Ashanti Region were instructed to step aside amid allegations of collecting unauthorised fees from incoming students.

The Ghana Education Service (GES), in statements dated December 8, 2023, announced the initiation of investigations into the conduct of these headteachers. 

The implicated individuals are: 

Mrs Selina Anane Afoakwa, Headmistress of Kumasi Girls SHS; 

Mr Nataniel Asamoah, Headmaster of Asanteman SHS; 

Mr Andrews Boateng, Headmaster of Kumasi Senior High Technical School; and

Mr Kwadwo Obeng-Appiah, Headmaster of Manso-Edubia SHS. 

Others include: 

Mr Daniel Boamah Duku, Headmaster of Agric Nzema Community SHS; 

Ms Gladys Sarfowah, Headmistress of Nkawie Senior High Technical School; and 

Mr Ampong Ahmed Omar, Headmaster of Collins SHS.

The GES stated that these headteachers face accusations of imposing various unapproved fees, including house dues, books, calculators, admission process fees, and charges for printing slips, files, and hymn books. 

This development follows similar interdictions of Mr Afi Yaw Stephen, Headmaster of Berekum Senior High School, 

Mr Joseph Jilinjeh Abudu, Headmaster of Odomaseman Senior High School, 

Hhe Headmistress the Ghana Senior High School (GHANASS), Patience Naki Mensah and
