The Ministry of Education has told anxious parents worried over the absence of their wards from placement\u00a0lists, to expect more updates to the lists of first-year students posted at the various secondary schools across the country.<\/p>\n
The Ministry of Education indicated that, an update was done around 10:00am today [Monday].<\/p>\n
Speaking to Citi News<\/strong>, Nana Aba Boafo of the Human Resource Department at the Education Ministry, said placed students without their names on first-year lists should expect better news by the close of Monday.<\/p>\n “If you are a parent and you have been there and your ward\u2019s name is not in it, just this morning the list has been updated so all the heads have been informed… once the child has been placed in the school, certainly, the name will be there by close of day today [Monday].\u201d<\/p>\n She however noted that, not all schools have received the list, but “for those schools that have received it, if you are a parent and you get there, and your ward\u2019s name is not there, you can come and we will receive your complaints and check why it\u2019s not there; but we will keep updating [the lists].\u201d<\/p>\n Although first-year students for the 2017\/18 academic year, set to be the first beneficiaries of free secondary education, \u00a0received their prospectus and satisfied every requirement from their schools of choice, challenges have still persisted with the general enrollment into senior high schools.<\/p>\n But the National Secretary of the Conference of Heads of Assisted Secondary Schools (CHASS), Samuel Gyebi Yeboah, has said, although the process of getting placement and subsequently confirming placement has been fraught with some challenges, academic activities will continue.<\/p>\n Government has also consistently reiterated that no child who qualifies for SHS will be left behind.<\/p>\n –<\/p>\n By: Delali Adogla-Bessa\/citifmonline.com\/Ghana<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Ministry of Education has told anxious parents worried over the absence of their wards from placement\u00a0lists, to expect more updates to the lists of first-year students posted at the various secondary schools across the country.
