Private schools in the country have accused the Akufo-Addo government of being adamant to include them in the free senior high school policy introduced last academic year. According to the schools, persistent efforts at getting the government to make private schools a part of the free SHS programme has failed to yield results. “We have met government like three times, but nothing came out” Public Relations Officer for the Conference of Heads of Private Second Cycle Schools, Naphtali Kyei Baffour said on Monday. He indicated the excuse of government that private schools are not well equipped to participate in the free SHS is not correct, arguing that some public schools have even been using their facilities. “Some private schools with lots of facilities have collapsed due to the concentration of Free SHS in only public schools,” he revealed but did not give details as to the number of schools affected and their names.
