The Conference of Heads of Assisted Secondary Schools (CHASS) has urged the Ministry of Education to immediately release outstanding funds critical for the effective running of Senior High Schools (SHSs) as they gear up for the 2025 academic year.
In a letter signed by CHASS National Secretary, Primus Baro, the group cited earlier letters sent on August 12 and September 20, 2024, as well as commitments made by the Minister of Education during a Zoom meeting on December 18, 2024.
However, these commitments have yet to be honored.
CHASS highlighted that unpaid arrears for perishable goods, utility bills, and other operational needs continue to disrupt the smooth functioning of SHSs across Ghana, calling for swift government intervention to resolve the issue.
