The reopening of Senior High Schools (SHSs) nationwide is at risk of being postponed due to delays in the release of funds needed to facilitate the smooth commencement of the Second Term.
In a notice, the Conference of Heads of Assisted Secondary Schools (CHASS) appealed to the Ministry of Education for the immediate release of outstanding funds to ensure the seamless operation of SHSs across Ghana.
With schools scheduled to reopen for the 2025 academic year on January 3, CHASS warned that unresolved financial shortfalls could disrupt academic activities and compromise student welfare.
A communiqué signed by CHASS National Secretary, Primus Baro, highlighted the financial challenges faced by schools, which persist despite previous communications and verbal assurances from the Minister of Education during a Zoom meeting on December 18, 2024.
