The Conference of Heads of Assisted Secondary Schools (CHASS) has written to the Minister of Education Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum to release funds owed to schools in respect of recurrent fees and carting of food items and all arrears for Day schools for the second semester of the 2023/2024 academic year.
National Secretary Baro Primus referred to a letter dated 20th September 2024 reminding the Minister to kindly release outstanding payments for recurrent fees owed to schools since the 2021 academic year, as well as refund of monies meant for carting food items from Regional zonal food centres among others. He said it was worth mentioning that while some issues in that letter were responded to, some of them remained unattended.
The National Executives of CHASS had since engaged the GES Management and the Hon Minister for Education severally on these matters, but with no solution on sight.
CHASS would want to once more kindly inform your good office that, schools have now reached their wit ends and it has become extremely difficult to manage the system effectively.
