Engaged the services of private school - ASEPA to Government

The Executive Director urged the government to engage the services of private schools as a way to decongest the already choked public schools.

According to him, the government could partner with the private schools by allowing them to admit some of these students to reduce the numbers into the fewer public schools that are already congested.

He commented on the fact that this could curtail the collapse of the private schools which are also contributing to job creation in the teaching sector, Mensah Thompson advised.

Mensah Thompson charged the government to investigate the aforementioned loopholes his outfit had identified.

In a related issue, he commended the Honourable Minister of Education, Mr. Adu Twum for some efforts been put in place to institute a biometric data system to check some of the illegality on the FSHS program.

Mr. Mensah Thompson mentioned how the government was paying huge sums of money to ghost students and urged the Ministry to take further steps to address the situation that could lead to the collapse of the Free Senior High School program.
