School placement crisis is self-inflicted – Awudu Ishaq

Mr Ishaq said although the introduction of the Computerised School Selection and Placement System was intended to reduce the human element in placements, he believes human interference remains a concern.

Awudu Ishaq, General Secretary, says Ghana’s persistent challenges with the senior high school placement system are largely self-inflicted and could have been addressed over the years.

Mr Ishaq referred to reports that have previously pointed fingers at ministers responsible for education and Director-Generals of the Ghana Education Service over alleged manipulation of the placement system to favour certain individuals.
