While the conference of Heads of Assisted Secondary Schools (CAHSS ) took place at Cape Coast on Thursday, Mrs. Alice Agyeman, Central Regional Chairman of CHASS, brought up the problems Senior Secondary School (SSS) students have to face when gaining admission into universities.

As the Daily Graphic reports, students who want to study business at the University of Ghana or University of Cape Coast need a credit in Additional Mathematics, although these courses are not compulsory at SSS. Even the best grades deny students access to business-studies.

Mrs. Agyeman called on the Ghana Education Service (GES) and the universities to change and renew university entry requirements and coordinate successful agreements.
