Foreign students<\/strong><\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”HI4HLYcH42hmrrpVTyBMcpoT5M9DeLAk”]A letter signed by the acting Director-General of the GES, Mr Charles Y. Aheto-Tsega, and addressed to all heads of senior high\/technical schools, however, stated that foreign students were required to pay a tuition fee of GH\u00a21,000 per term.<\/p>\n

The letter, which has been made available to the\u00a0Daily Graphic<\/em>, said in addition to the tuition fees, foreign students were required to pay other charges that were applicable such as boarding fees and approved PTA levies.<\/p>\n

PTA levy<\/strong><\/p>\n

The letter explained that the GES had also approved a PTA levy of GH\u00a235, which included development levy of GH\u00a210 and utilities of GH\u00a25 for boarding students and GH\u00a23 for day students.<\/p>\n

The letter stressed that other PTA projects to be agreed at meetings at the school level must be approved by the Director-General.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll other items to be purchased by students must be placed in the school stores and be procured by requisition and charged to student bill as appropriate,\u201d the letter stated.<\/p>\n

It further explained that the bill for second and third terms for first-year students would be the same as continuing students.<\/p>\n

Advice<\/strong><\/p>\n

The letter advised heads of SHSs\/technical schools \u201cnot to include any levies which are not approved by the Director-General. Concerns raised by parents\/guardians about such illegal fees will attract severe sanctions for heads\u201d.<\/p>\n

It stressed that all heads were to send a copy of the final school bill to the Director-General through the District and Regional Directors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
