Spread top students across SHSs to end ‘Grade A’ school dominance – Isaac Addae

He said the practice of sending the highest-performing students to schools perceived to be in the top category, while average-performing students are distributed among other schools, has created an artificial hierarchy within the senior high school system.

Morning Starr host Isaac Addae has criticised Ghana’s senior high school placement system, arguing that concentrating the country’s best-performing students in Category A schools is contributing to the persistent challenges surrounding school selection and placement.

He argued that such reforms could ultimately reduce the intense competition for a limited number of places in Category A schools and help address recurring concerns over the senior high school placement system.
