The National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT) has urged the Ministry of Education to consider banning the Parents Association (PA) scheme in Senior High Schools (SHSs) if it conflicts with the Free Senior High School (Free SHS) policy.
This comes after the interdiction of headteachers from Ahantaman Senior High School and St.
Roses Senior High School, Akwatia, by the Ghana Education Service (GES), following allegations that the schools had collected unauthorised fees.
NAGRAT insists that these fees were introduced by the Parents Association and not by the schools' management, arguing that the punishment imposed on the headteachers is unjust.
