  People who cannot provide a desk for their own children at the basic schools are the people who supported NDC to review free education. Hahahahaha!!!!!

  No student,parent,guardian and Ghanaian should listent to eduwatch because it is a failed institution which is refusing to report on all the bad things going on in GES. GES has over the years worked against the NTC's core mandate which has failed many shs students in wassce but nothing is said about it by eduwatch.GES has worked against teachers condition of service to cause excessive teacher transfers but nothing is said about it by eduwatch. A teacher travels in a total of 144km to and fro to teach because there is no accomodation in present station but eduwatch has failed to report on this. Teachers motivation is in a huge arrears but eduwatch is refusing to report on this . Illegal regional, municipal and district directors of eduction are registered in almost allover the country Ghana ,but eduwatch is refusing to report on this,and many more . Let us be wise, Ghanaians.

  How can the schools conduct exams to assess the performance of students if parents do not pay exams fees?
  The capitation grant per child for the academic year is just ₵9.00. This is not just for exams but for the entire running of the school. The money is nothing to write home about and it’s also not being paid. So please, come again with a better suggestion

  Some people do not know much about certain things and they do not care to try to know much, but all they are interested in to criticize for the sake of being seen to be making contributions to national discourse. The idiots complaining should know now, that the basic schools are supposed to conduct termly modern exams for children. By modern exams I mean printed exams, not exams written on blackboards or markerboards. Given that the schools do not have dedicated printers, copiers etc. to conduct the exams, they contract companies or small printing businesses to set exams questions and print for them. Even if teachers set the questions, they will have to give the questions to private businesses to typeset and print them. Are you therefore expecting private businesses or people to conduct exams for public schools for free? Or your pecked asses will pay for the children?

  What Kofi Asare should be advocating for the adequate funding for Public Basic School. No Headteacher takes delight in collecting printing from parents the State(government) provides.The money pay in the name of Capitation Grant is 9 Cedis per student per annum. This culminated into 3 Cedis per term per student. A piece of cardboard is 6 Cedis, marker box is 20 Cedis, Sports feeding, minor maintenance, sanitation, electricity, water and other administrative expenses.

  Those supporting the school heads should tell government not to extend Free SHS to private schools. If you tell me every child should enjoy free why is the government not making private basic schools free?

  So, upon all the plenty talks, what's your solution? As government hasn't provided, how would the questions be printed?
  
  Education is expensive if you care to know.

  You know the government does not make funds available, yet you're saying parents should not be levied. Which kind of controversial statement is this? Where does eduwatch expect the schools to get the money for the printing of the question papers? This whole write up is very hypocritical. We've outlived the days when teachers write exam questions on the black/whiteboard.
