The Ghana National Council of Private Schools (GNACOPS) has said that the 30% quota system on admission slots that is reserved exclusively for students who completed BECE in public schools has given public basic schools an undue advantage over private schools, overlooking the efforts of the non-state actors in the sector to provide quality education.
They added that beyond this, the 70% left is still shared among candidates from both the public and private schools, which GNACOPS said accounts for 49% of education establishments and 33% of all enrollments at the pre-tertiary level in Ghana.
Yet many of them are struggling to survive in the sector as government's 30% quota to public schools continues to affect them, it added.
According to a 3news.com, private basic schools in Ghana contribute significantly to education by supplementing the public system, offering diverse learning environments to meet crucial educational needs, especially in most areas where access to public schools is limited.
