This so called unapproved fees are gradually putting a lot of problems on educational institutions. The approve fees do not take care of a lot of things. You go to some schools and realised that the Windows and nets are all falling yet the hands of the headmasters are tight. No money to fix simple things.

Obama in his desire to fulfill his promises to his people has allowed a racist motivated decision to cloud his judgement and give us this unfair shameful gitmo ex cons so should also be ashamed of himself . Now i support Donald Trump . Instead of inviting us to join NATO so we boost our security they first offer us some useless Africom and now give us their terrorists that they themselves have difficulty in handling . It is noticeable that all nations that have joined NATO have prosperity because they have tolerable levels of corruption, Obama is a disappointment as again in total disregard for the cultural sensitivities and traditions of Africans is trying to force on us homosexuality instead of bringing us money for development as if fucking someones ass is the height of his wisdom. Hannah Tetteh must resign immediately. As for Mahama he is as Mugabe observed a total disgrace to Africa and for his Gonja people. He will be lucky if he makes it that far to the elections , right now Mahama should be impeached before he causes any more damage .We are fed up with his corruption and dangerous decisions . I hope a petition requesting a referendum can be organized so he hears the true voice of the people .Gitmo ex cons was the last straw its one thing stealing our money and another endangering the future peace of all Ghanians , Mahama must go now

This is a good & bold step by GES. There should be no interference by their so-called "old GIRLS" or MOBA. Old girls, because they keep silence over these evils take place in their alma mata. These evil deeds prevent POOR parents to care for their wards. What are the CATHOLIC CONFERENCE and the CHRISTIAN COUNCIL saying about this? These BAD school heads' activities are the real threats for Ghana, but not the Guitmo detainees. The NPP politics of the clergy is very Ugly.

Charging of illegal fees is going in almost all the boarding schools, especially the Girl's Boarding schools. This term alone, some of us are going to pay almost Gh.Cedis 800.00. as fees. If the Government is not trying to play politics or throw sand into our eyes, then it should ask for the bills of all schools in the Central Region, Ashanti and the Eastern Regions, and it will see that the paying of illegal fees is now being charged by most of the schools.

Most parents do not have enough money and their financial predicaments are made worse by head of schools who charge these unapproved fees. Congratulations to all who took the decision.

Is this excessive micromanagement by the GES of schools not going to create more problems? Schools are not the same and circumstances differ and as such setting up a uniform fees to be collected sounds backward. What takes care of the differences in the price of foodstuffs in the different parts of the country where the schools are situated? Can't the GES ask the schools to get clearance for any extra fee they intended to charge? When the headmasters are struggling to run the schools these same GES officials sit in their offices scheming on their own private needs.

The policy of regulated fees by the government is one thing I commend this govt for. At some point the school authorities were having a field day and charging fees which made it so difficult for a lot of parents to pay. In fact if the trend was allowed to continue, very few parents would be able to afford today. certain decisions should be devoid of our political spectacles. I salute the GES.

Well done Mr Director-General of GES for your bold decision to sacked the corrupt headmaster for charging illegal fee without authorisation. Mr Jacob, we really appreciate your firmness and favourless . It will serve as a deterrent to other heads. We must work within the laws of GES. The corrupt Mfantsipim head should establish his school and charge as he wish.

I expected this a long time ago ever since he spoke boldly against the computer placement in November and refused to accept more students to overwhelm the school's facilities. Every school charges excess to supplement feeding. THE GOVT PROVIDES ONE CEDI TEN PESEWAS A MEAL. Who can survive on that. I will rather pay a little more to have my ward enjoy some proteins instead of full carbohydrates. I pray MOBA fights for him as he has improved academic performance in the school within the last two years.

Why are they charging illegal fees. I don't support it but the question is why do they charge those fees. Are they resource properly or their budget is cut to the extent that they need more to run the school? There are more questions than answers. Government will always want to put blame on teachers to save face. I believe we all want our children to live in healthy environment. I will encourage all to find out why these heads ask for the so called illegal fees. Remember I don't support cheating and fraud but I believe there are more questions than answers.

Whether sacked, asked to step aside, interdicted.... so what? If he charged realistically for a worthy cause but which goes against political expediency, then he is a hero and not one of the Biblical cowardly who will not inherit the Kingdom of God. Sir, like Shadrach, Mershack and Abednego; like Daniel and like the midwives of Pharaoh's Egypt; the Lord is your companion in working against an unGodly policy and dying for the truth. You hate your life in Christ and you will gain it. God bless you.
