Ghana Catholic Bishops’ Conference, Christian Council decry exclusion from National Education Forum
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The Ghana Catholic Bishops’ Conference (GCBC) has called for a comprehensive review of the Free Senior High School (Free SHS) policy and the phasing out of the Double Track System within two years.

This was contained in a communiqué issued at the end of the 2nd National Catholic Education Forum, held in Koforidua.

The Bishops urged the government to address the persistent challenges associated with the Double Track System and develop a strategic plan to gradually eliminate it.

They emphasized the need for clarity on the respective responsibilities of parents and the government under the Free SHS policy, calling for a review to ensure effective implementation.

Furthermore, the GCBC reiterated the importance of parental involvement in education, urging the government to fulfill its promise of reinstating parents’ responsibility to contribute to their children’s education.

They also advocated for the revival of Parent-Teacher Associations (PTAs) to protect the rights of teachers and parents, ensuring their representation in the educational partnership.

In addition, the Bishops proposed the introduction of a “cut-off point” for admission into Senior High and Technical Schools. This, they argued, would help maintain academic standards and improve the overall quality of secondary education in Ghana.

The 2nd National Catholic Education Forum brought together key stakeholders in education, including government representatives, educators, and faith-based organizations, to deliberate on critical issues affecting Catholic and national education.

The Bishops emphasized their commitment to working with all stakeholders to enhance the quality and sustainability of Ghana’s educational system.
