The Conference of Heads of Assisted Senior High Schools (CHASS) has called for a review of the Free SHS policy, especially the policy on Parents Teachers Associations (PTAs) in schools after three years of its existence.

According to CHASS, the policy has led to the collapse of PTAs in schools across the country, accounting for many abandoned projects at various levels as well as support for schools.Speaking at the 5th Annual Conference of CHASS at Wesley Girls High School in Cape Coast, president of the Conference, Yakub Abubakar urged the Ghana Education Service (GES) and other stakeholders to consider a reversal of the policy to ensure effective implementation and positive outcomes.

“The observation of the Conference is that PTA activities are gradually dying in our schools. Hitherto, the PTAs were playing very significant roles in our schools,” he said.
