World Bank leads review of free SHS, others

The free Senior High School (SHS) programme is under review. The exercise is being led by the World Bank as part of efforts to properly assess the effectiveness and cost implications of all social intervention programmes currently under implementation.

Other programmes under review include the School Feeding Programme, the Planting for Food and Jobs and its offshoots, the One district, One factory (1D1F) initiative and the Agenda 111.

The Minister of Finance, Ken Ofori- Atta, disclosed this to the Daily Graphic last week Wednesday.

Mr Ofori-Atta said the review was part of efforts to streamline government expenditure.

It is understood that the review is one of the actions that the government is undertaking to ensure and assure of fiscal prudence in the quest for a $3 billion support from the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

No hasty decisions

While stressing that a decision will be made on each of the programmes only after the outcome of the exercise has been made known, the minister said he was convinced that the exercise would not collapse the free SHS and the School Feeding Programmes.

He said the results of the exercise would aim to strengthen the initiatives by improving targeting and spending.

Why World Bank

The minister was optimistic that the exercise would be concluded soon for a document to be issued next year.

On why the government settled on the World Bank to lead the exercise, Mr. Ofori-Atta said it was to allow for a fresh eye on the initiatives.

He said after implementing the various programmes for about six years, it was only proper that a comprehensive assessment of how they had fared, the cost and results of each initiative were undertaken to inform the next line of action.

Preliminary agreement

At a joint press conference last Tuesday to announce the preliminary agreement with the IMF for a $3 billion extended credit facility (ECF), Mr Ofori- Atta explained that the review of the social interventions was also to ensure efficiency.

“I think we are doing a review to look at the efficiencies of all of these programmes and that has already kicked off.

“And as we then continue, we will make sure that these are run efficiently,” the minister said at the event that was jointly addressed by the IMF Mission Chief to Ghana, Stephane Roudet, and the Second Deputy Governor of the Bank of Ghana, Elsie Addo Awadzi.

It was also graced by the World Bank Country Director for Ghana, Liberia and Sierra Leone, Pierre Laporte.

Mr. Ofori-Atta assured the nation and the gathering that the government was committed to the free SHS programme and would work to enhance its implementation and effectiveness.

“The issue of human capital is something that the government of President Akufo-Addo is completely committed to and clear about because that will always remain our future and also ensure social mobility for every Ghanaian. The sense of citizenship is important,” he added.

Free SHS: Over 100 private schools on verge of collapse – CHOPPS

About half of the 280 Private Senior High schools in the country could be forced to shut down within the next few years due to the dwindling level of student enrollment in these schools, the Conference of Heads of Private Second Cycle Schools (CHOPPS) has warned. 

CHOPPS said the new trend could also lead to massive job losses.

CHOPPS has expressed concerns over the collapse of private schools since the inception of the Free SHS policy.

Though government subsequently absorbed 15 private secondary schools to help meet the growing intake of students, CHOPPS has consistently called for more assistance from government.

Speaking to Citi News on the level of engagement between CHOPPS and the government, the General Secretary of the schools, Joseph Dzamesi said all attempts to address the problem had failed.

“280 private schools are in the country. Within the next couple of years we are estimating that about 50% of them will be out of business. Currently about a third of them are on life support, barely surviving. And a number of them have completely collapsed.

“When you look at it in terms of the economics, they have estimated that both teaching and non teaching staff , private senior high schools employ about 10,000 people across the country. Obviously your guess is as good as mine. That means that when about half of them collapse over the next couple of years, about 5,000 jobs are gonna be lost in terms of the students.We provide access to about 70,000 children and now a bunch of the classrooms are empty. Students are struggling with the double track.”

CHOPPS had expressed its reservations with Government’s absorption of 15 private schools under the Free Senior High School Policy.

The General Secretary for CHOPSS, Joseph Dzamesi, said the 15 schools had given up because of low student intake and had essentially become government schools.

“…Absorbed, meaning these are headmasters who have given up. They don’t have students in their classrooms so they have given up control, facilities and everything to the government to run, ” he told Citi News.

Mr. Dzamesi stressed that the private schools are looking for a partnership, not to cede control of their schools.

“They [absorbed schools] have become government schools just like Achimota Schools or some mission schools that have been given to government to run. So that is not what we are talking about. We are asking for partnership and they have thrown that away completely.”

“We presented proposals to government and as far as I know, none of the proposals were taken,” he added.

The Education Minister has explained that any form of collaboration with private schools requires more time and engagement.

The Ghana Education Service has a committee that assesses the infrastructure level of the private schools and their human resources before any possible partnership or absorption can go ahead.

“The schools that come, they come with different levels of infrastructure needs. That is why the Ghana Education Service has a committee that goes to assess those schools that goes to assess those schools that even come and knock on their doors to be absorbed,” Dr. Opoku-Prempeh told the media on Monday.

“Government should have a capital outlay in making sure that the teachers there are qualified. The government cannot send public students to places where the teachers are unqualified. It means that the government should have the budget to absorb those teachers or to make sure they can post teachers to those places.”

GES placed 130 students of BECE Candidates to Tanyigbe Senior High School

The Ghana Education Service (GES) has released the list of successful candidates of the 2018 Basic Education Certificates Examination (BECE) who had been placed onto the Computerized SHS Placements System.

In a statement issued by the Head of Public Relations of the Ghana Education Service, Cassandra Twum Ampofo, about Sixty-seven thousand three hundred and eighty two (67,382) students who have qualified to senior high schools (SHS) could not be placed under the computerised school selection placement system (CSSPS).

This the statement indicated was due the inability of the grades of such candidates to match with any of their school choices.

According to the GES, such victims have however been asked to do self-placement to get themselves into schools with vacancies; but the schools selected on self-placement cannot be changed.

The statement further indicated that 423,134 out of 490,514 qualified candidates have however been placed. Out of these numbers, One hundred and thirty (130) students have been placed for enrolment and admission to Tanyigbe Senior High School for the 2018/19 Academic Year.

Government released GH¢35.9M to Schools for 2nd Term Free SHS Education

The Ministry of Education has released Gh¢35.9 million to public second cycle schools under the Free Senior High School programme to cover initial operational and administrative costs for the second term of the 2017/2018 academic year.

Speaking to Citi News, the Head of Communications at the Free SHS Secretariat, Josberta Gyan Kwakye, said the amount would cover about 489 schools.

We have released such an amount to the various secondary schools and it covers about 489 schools… the Ghc35.9 million that has been sent to the schools currently, is to cover the initial administrative costs for the schools for the second term.”

She also explained that the initial 20 percent sent to the schools in September 2017 “was based on raw estimations because as of the time we were releasing the funds, we didn’t have the exact enrolment numbers so it was more of an approximation.”

She said the Ministry has also paid GH¢3,392,031 as arrears for 264 schools during the first term.

“After we had been able to confirm the enrolment numbers based on the signed list that the individual schools submitted to the secretariat, we have now come to the conclusion that about [264] schools had some arrears to be paid to cover for the first term,” Mrs. Gyan Kwakye said.

Prior payments

In September 2017, the government released for disbursement half of the GH¢ 486 million for the policy.
That amount was to serve the over 400,000 first-year students who benefited from the Free SHS policy this 2017/2018 academic year.

At the beginning of 2018, the government also released GHc62,606,403, in three instalment payments for the delivery of food items to Senior High Schools in the country to the National Food Buffer Stock Company.

In terms of other notable expenses under the policy, the government set aside an amount of GHc80 million to address challenges relating to furniture.

Budgetary allocation for Free SHS ‘woefully inadequate’ – Ablakwa

National Democratic Congress Member of Parliament for the North Tongu Constituency, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has described the government’s budgetary allocation for Free SHS as woefully inadequate to support the programme.

According to him, government would need at least two billion cedis to support Free SHS in 2018, 800 million cedis more than the amount that was allocated to it in the budget.

‘You can’t run education with voluntary funds’

The government announced that it would set up a fund to receive voluntary contributions from individuals to support the implementation of the free SHS programme and the educational sector as a whole.

However, this plan has come under fire from the Minority who believe this is an indication that government does not have the funds to properly implement its much-touted programme.

And according to Okudzeto Ablakwa, the government cannot afford to rely on the voluntary funds as a source of funding for free SHS, as projections for those funds may not materialize.
