Rainbowradioonline.com has gathered from some senior high schools that form 3 students have not written any exams since they got their final year.
Our sources told us that the schools involved (names withheld) had no money to print exam questions for the students.
Because of this, some of the schools involved recently managed to print the end-of-first-semester questions which they are currently writing as mock from their our resources.
The situation the affected schools noted was terrible because the students are preparing for their final exams.
Aside from that, some of the schools have also not benefitted from the free vacation classes introduced by the government.
We gathered that school heads were required to submit intervention plans/time table to headquarters for a process to be initiated to have funds released for the exercise.
The schools prepared the documents and presented them to the Ghana Education Service but no money had been sent for anything.
Those who have also managed to organize the extra classes have not received a dime for their services.
In some schools, each student was made to pay Ghc150 as a cost for the extra classes.
Furthermore, there has not been any planned vacation for the final year students.
After the first two months of the first semester, the students were given about one month break.
The break period was later extended by one month.
In fact, lack of space and furniture was the reason for the extension, because first-year students had reported at the time, some of the heads in the schools have said.
“After resumption, there’s not been any vacation. So I am just wondering when the vacation classes were organized, and at what venue, since lack of space in many of the schools was the reason for the break at the time,” an aggrieved headmaster said.
