The Headmaster and Teachers of Benkum SHS in the Eastern Region of Ghana are rejecting the prospectus of the Ghana Education Service while levying freshers for track suit among several other unauthorized charges.
This comes after seven headteachers from Senior High Schools (SHSs) in the Ashanti Region were instructed to step aside amid allegations of collecting unauthorised fees from incoming students.
The latest development in Benkum SHS is not different from reports received from Bishop Herman College where concerned parents whose wards were posted to the schools by the Computerized School Selection and Placement System say they are forced to pay some Levies before being allowed to enroll.
In the case of Bishop Herman, 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.
“They even have the nerves to also say that government prospectus is not considered there. The parents bought east-west for their girls but the school is telling the parents to buy tourist for them. They also make fun of the students who went there with the government prospectus. I think the District Chief Executives have not helped the government at all. They should have planted some parents to feed them with information in order to see if the schools are following the government’s order” the parent lamented.
