    very shameful indeed. The headmistress will have to take the fall for this. This a clear violation of free SHS policy.
    In spite of the fact that some heads of schools have been fired for this infringement it appears nothing ...

    Your argument is flawed. The fact that u sent your ward to a private school that costs GhC 2000 per term does not give u the right to think that all the students in St Roses attended such a school(s). For your information, so ...

    Oh strange,
    You are bold enough to say the PA and the school authorities should bow their heads in shame. Are you saying parent can’t pay GH 50/ month to support the FSHS policy. Please we voted for the PA Executives and ...

    The policy exist on paper.tge reality is on the ground. The policy makers know about all these. Every Shs in ghana is taking support from PAs the reason for the guidelines.

    As you are calling for the head of the Headmistress, you should be also calling for the heads of the Education minister, director general of education. Education cannot be free. No country in the world is practising this poli ...

    Is the school yours? Do they render accounts to those who paid monies to us? What a shame. In God's name lead them to publish fully audited financial statement and we shall see were those monies went to. Thieves.

  • Kk 20 1 year ago

    If you are not willing to pay, just leave parents who are willing to pay to do so. No one is a thief here. The majority who agreed, are paying. When your daughter return home, starve her.

  • Kk 20 1 year ago

    Who is robbing who? What is shameful about this? That I am paying extra feeding for my own daughter's comfort? Do you feed your daughter at home with GHS 10 a day?

    Bbroni come and see the inhumanity our Queens are going through over there. No wonder the kids always curse the school on their last step out

  • MJ 1 year ago

    It's happening in Mfantiman as well. Fear of victimization has always been the reason why parents and students alike do not voice out.

  • NO 1 year ago

    This is not the first time, If you think your ward will be victimized, Let her move to a day school close to you so you can give her the best meal

  • It is everywhere 1 year ago

    It's happening live and coloured in lots of schools. No research. No data. We are all just talking for talking sake.
    These are probably the hidden facts about FSHS.

    We can question some few actions of the school authorities. The PA, however is doing marvellous well. They have supported the school in diverse ways, in terms of even getting teachers to fill vacancies created by science teac ...

    A lot of parents are still unaware of the real issues. Too much emotions and sentiments by some ignorant and loud parents.

    In all this, why bin the food they brought from home? That is inhumane. That is not good. MOE and GES should make sure no school authorities are allowed to throw students foods they brought from home away.

    Hmmm Jay, it's unfortunate some parents are behaving this way. I don't know what they seek to achieve by this. Don't they buy provisions for their daughters just because it's free shs? Hypocrisy at the highest level.

  • Nartey 1 year ago

    If this is true, then it's rather unfortunate
    They shouldn't harass the girls in the name on discipline
