Parents Frustrated Over Delay In School Placement For Wards

Some parents in the Ho Municipality have expressed frustration at their inability to print out the details of Senior High Schools and Technical Schools their wards have been placed in by the Computerised Schools Selection and Placements (CSSPs) Secretariat. They say their inability to obtain the prints out of the placements was making it difficult for them to begin admission processes for their wards. The parents who talked to the Ghana News Agency (GNA) said they have obtained information on their wards' placements on the internet as directed by the CSSPS. Information gathered by the GNA from some internet cafes in the Municipality indicate that the CSSPS has not opened its website for such information. A visit to some of the Senior High Schools in town showed that they were yet to receive the lists of first year students posted to them. The parents observed that the short period between the delayed first term, mid-October to December and the commencement of the second term at the end of December could place huge financial burdens on them.
