GES denies cancellation of Free SHS, warns against GH¢1,500 ‘chop box’ payment

The Ghana Education Service (GES) has dismissed reports circulating on social media claiming that the Director-General has cancelled the Free Senior High School (Free SHS) policy and directed parents to pay GH¢1,500 for chop boxes and trunks.

The Service clarified that the Free SHS policy remains in effect and that the Director-General has not issued any directive requiring parents or guardians to pay for chop boxes, trunks or any other items.

It further explained that the Director-General does not have the authority to cancel the Free SHS policy.
