The Headmaster of The Kingdom Heritage Model School (KHMS), Mr Joseph Agyenim-Boateng, has called for equity in the Computerised School Selection and Placement System (CSSPS) According to him, pupils of public schools must not be favoured against those in private schools in the placement of pupils for Senior High Schools.
Speaking in an interview with The Ghanaian Times on the sidelines of a float organised by the school on Thursday, Mr Agyenim-Boateng explained that most of the pupils in private schools in their final year leave for public schools to write their Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) in the view they would get better placement under the CSSPS.
That, he stated, was making private schools to lose a lot of students, affecting the business of most private schools. "Our brilliant final year students leave to go and write the BECE in public schools without informing us because of the added advantage of school placement of public school candidates," he said.
Mr Agyenim-Boateng appealed to the government to pay teachers of Public and Private School teachers as it was doing for mission schools.
