It has become a government sponsored event. The Ghana government agreed to take it on and participated in the past few years. So forget about the previous private sponsorship. If the government could not afford sponsorship it should not have agreed.
Frankly, this is a slip up by the current government. I hope they'll pay up and keep paying up to sustain the event. The event has a positive impact on education in Ghana.

You do know that this only affects kids from government schools, right? Wealthy parents are taking care of their kids. Why should a private venture take care of kids both the parents and the government reject?

Because most of the so called "private" people have stolen the money that belonged to kids from government schools. They were part of canceling free high school so there will more treasure available to plunder.

Hahahaha. No, it started for earlier. It started at Kutu’s time when schools were having problems getting Chalk to use on the Blackboard. Yes, and it worsened at the time of Efo Jeremiah John Rawlings. Can you believe that some schools had to resort to using Dried Cassava KOKONTE STICKS to write on the Writing Board. I very much remember because I was not a little young boy.
Ghana is just funny because we are able to provide for the luxury of Politicians and their Foolsoldiers.

The PTA dues are not for that but for the some needs of the schools that the Government can’t or unable to afford.
The organizers of the Science and Maths Quiz should have looked for sponsorships even trying to organize for the program. The Schools do not make any revenue so how can the Schools organize and transport students and teachers and other officials for such programs. If the organizers don’t have the funds for the program, they should not start even to advertise it.

CHASS could be more innovative about this matter. If there are no funds from the government, why can't we launch an appeal to institutions and individuals to donate to fund it rather than cancel it?

It is hard to understand we don't solicit funds or we feel big to solicit funds from institutions and individuals to donate to support or fund the program. I have been part of big institutions in developed countries doing fundraising. One time I was joking with my friends that we should go and speak with Chief Executive and chiefs of our district to do fundraising to build schools and renovate the deteriorating school buildings. For instance, we visit all the towns and villages to find out the ones they don't have schools and ones the schools are deplorable. We could make it a 10 yr D-plan to make every town and village has a primary and JSS. Answer was hmmmmmmm.

Building schools is not cheap. This country does a lot of business with our resources but the benefits to the people are few. There is no priority of spending. A fully loaded Landcruiser is about $100,000 and we can afford for the MPs, and cannot build schools. Some children learn under trees and and our dumb MCEs or DCEs do not care.

My proposed educational curriculum for ghana
1.KG and Primary- Language proficiency and basic mathematics (English , the local ghanaian languag of the learner and any 0the foreign languag). I.e 3 SUBJECTS.
2. JHS - Carrier choice (Carpentary and related subjects), Masonry and related subjects ,welding and related subjects, Building and related subjects, Medicine and related subjects, law andrelatedsubjects, banking and relatedsubjects, Piloting andrelatedsubjects, forces and relatedsubjects driving and relatedsubjects ,mining and related subjects, Animal production and related subjects, crop production , petroleum , automechanics, electricals, etc + Maths ) .English and one other foreign language. NOl anguage should be examinable ,but for proper communication. Of course everyone was born with a language. The ability to know another person's language should not be used as a yardstick for one's intelligence.
So right from the JHS through to university everyone is in his/her carrier journey and would have been an expertise.
3. Core subjects
- sanitation
- mathematics
- highway code

AFRICA HAS INDEED WOKEN UP, BUT IT'S TIME TO GET OFF THE BED FOR ACTION AND DO SOMETHING PROGRESSIVE FOR HER CHILDREN.

AFRICA IS THE ONLY SUPER POWER IN THE WORLD and that is why the corrupt and greedy white man is always insecure and afraid of AFRICAN UNITY. Having advance weapons of mass destruction and technology does not make a country a SUPER POWER, but SELF RELIANCE does! AFRICA HAS ALWAYS BEEN SELF RELIANT, but lacks the educational tactics for mentality change.

Should not student be competitive and duly rewarded for practical application of knowledge instead paper and chalkboard gymnastics and bragging right competition of little value?

Better to apply knowledge and get questions of which scientific principles competitors used to create a solution than theoretical paper work that wider audience cannot benefit from practically or relate to.

Old boys and girls of participating Senior High Schools also do make financial contributions, some substantial, to the programme as well as the major sponsor, government. It will be sad that we miss this educative and entertaining programme for lack of funds.

If funding issues have started cropping up, I suggest other sources of funding be explored and exploited by both the organisers and the Ghana Education Service (GES). Otherwise the programme should be held once every two years for sustainability reasons.
