The Ghana Education Service (GES) has stated that it has not approved any school to collect fees from students or parents under any name or in any form.
In a statement shared on Facebook, GES urged the public to ignore claims being spread by people attempting to mislead others.
“Nonetheless, any school found to be charging money under the guise of feeding fees, as alleged, is acting unlawfully and without the approval of Management. Government’s commitment to not only maintain the Free SHS policy, but improve upon it, has not changed,” it said.
The statement added, “Any attempt to undermine this policy-whether through the spread of false information or through clandestinely imposing fees on students-will be treated as an act contrary to national interest”.
GES further advised students and parents who are asked to pay feeding fees by any school to report the issue to its Management for investigation and appropriate action.
