Political privilege undermines fairness in school placement – Awudu Ishaq

According to him, the introduction of the Computerised School Selection and Placement System was meant to reduce human interference in the placement of students, but the continued access granted to certain officials defeats that objective.

Awudu Ishaq, General Secretary, has raised concerns over what he describes as privileged access to Ghana’s school placement system, arguing that such access undermines fairness and creates room for the process to be influenced.

Mr Ishaq said the issue is not limited to one political administration, stressing that concerns over interference in the placement system cut across successive governments.
