Where is the finding source.

You should give the country the assurance for at least 5 years how the program will be sustained.

GES to set up monitoring and evaluation system for free SHS indeed.

What a basabasa talk, explanation, assurance and analysis. Stupid. After auditing and monitoring the schools to determine how many students they can accommodate comfortably, where will the rest who has also passed but could not be accommodated go? To Kwame Nkrumah interchange to set up tables and do hawking? Fools. You are behaving like a mad man who wears a shoe first and then wears a socks on top. Idiot. Build

Hope this monitoring and evaluation goes to all maintenance in schools. Currently there is no monitoring and evaluation of the infrastructural situation of schools in Ghana. As a result many schools remains dilapidated and not fit for purpose. Many have no toilet facilities or even hand washing basin. Target all primary schools and then target secondary schools. The situation as it stands is dare.

Hmmmm Oh Prof I am sorry to say you shouldn't have delivered this speech atall. Why? As a professor haven't you done all this feasibility studies ever since Nana started preaching about this Program? Didn't you people analyse,evaluate and critically examine how this FREE SHS could be implemented in a sustainable manner. Having used it as a political slogan to win power you are now telling Ghanaians stories. It will be shameful on the part of NPP

Ghana is actually in trouble, because most of the schools ve been admitting fifty to seventy percent over their capacities yet students are still not being admitted. And now that,they re going to be restricted to admit their normal capacities, many qualified students would not get access due to inadequate infrastructure. After G ES similar auditing shd.be done at our various prisons to reduce the number of inmates.

Every child in Ghana should have access to school to High School, abolish BECE, everybody who completes Junior High should continue to Senior High unless he/she opts to go into some vocational training, and while at it, build more day High schools in the urban areas and more community High schools in the rural areas to cater for the increased enrollment!!!

Don't let Ghanaians belittle your intelligence. Aren't you ashamed telling Ghanaians this cock and bull story? If " a cart is put before the horse it yields no good results and that is exactly what the NPP government is doing in the implementation of the FREE SHS PROGRAM. Why now EVALUATION AND MONITORING? PRUDENTLY THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE LONG LONG AGO WHEN NANA STARTED preaching ABOUT THIS OR WHEN WE WERE IN OPPOSITION. YOU PEOPLE HAVE DISAPPOINTED US. YOU HAVE CLEARLY PORTRAYED YOUR SYCHOPHANCY. Mpaninfo) kae3 ampa "YE SOMA ONYANSANI NA YENNSOMA ANAM)N TENTEN." didn't you do any FEASIBILITY STUDIES ON THE PROGRAM BEFORE YOU USED IT AS A CAMPAIGN TOOL? WHAT A SHAME! WHY NOW ? YOU ARE MAKING US PESSIMISTIC HAVING CONVINCED SOME VOTERS TO VOTE FOR NPP. WHAT DO YOU PEOPLE EXPECT US TO TELL THEM WHEN WE ARE CONFRONTED OVER THE FAILURE OF ITS EFFECTIVE IMPLEMENTATION? THE BIBLE EMPHATICALLY TOLD US NOT TO TRUST MAN AND THE ATTITUDE OF THIS PROFESSOR IS A SHINNING EXAMPLE. Apparently I AM INCLINED TO BELIEVE YOU HAVE DOUTFUL ACADEMIC AND MORAL BACKGROUND. COME AGSIN WITH ANOTHER MORE CONVINCING SPEECH. YOU SHOULDNT HAVE SAID IT ATALL AT THIS TIME. THIS EVALUATION AND MONITORING EXERCISE SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE EARLIER AND SECRETLY WITHOUT EVEN TELLING GHANAIANS.

Pathetic and stupid to say the least. Most district capital SHS have only 2 dormitories. One for boys and th other for girls. Only about 30% of the students are boarders with about 70%being day students. How is the government going to get all students in boarding houses even after 5 years? Stupid promises and lies overshadowed conscience but they'll soon come to terms with realty.

Hi James, we have witnessed several good projects fail for want of proper monitoring and evaluation. I am convinced it is in the right direction for GES to set up the M&E unit to provide regular progress on this important national project. Regular performance results will show whether we are making progress or we need to revise our strategy. In some parts of the world like France, Australia and Germany, it is mandatory that every government policy, program or projrct have an M&E system in place. Setting up an M&E unit should not be seen as a window dressing activity or waste of time and money. Sustainability of this program is dependent on the use of M&E report. Nea otwa so nnim s3 n'akyi akyea, but M&E can help you know whether you're derailing or on track.

Is it a new M&E unit going to be established solely for Free SHS?, bcos i knw fr a fact that there is already a unit called PME ( Performance, Monitoring and Evaluation) at all GES district and regional level. And there is also NIB (National Inspectorate Board) at the national level. May be the Prof. has no or little knowledge abt this unit in ges since he was even appointed outside ges.

Hello Gabriel,

You are perfectly right. I am a Systems Analyst & Management Consultant in the Financial Sector with close to 30 years experience.

There are more serious problems in the education sector which I am going to do justice to.

I was a Mathematics tutor in 1983 in Wesley Grammar School and in Breman Esikuma Secondary School in 1987.

There were very serious infrastructural deficiencies in these schools then. In Breman Esikuma there was no accommodation for me on campus. I had to sleep on the floor in the Headmaster's Bungalow for some time, before one
simple one was gotten for me far away from the school.

There was no pipe borne water. The water company pumped water once in a week to a water reservoir. No electricity then.

I attended Accra Academy in the early '70s and the infrastructure then which we didn't appreciate where first class compared to the same thing now.

For comparison sake, Accra Academy is a smaller carbon copy of the University of Ghana.

It was built roughly in the same decade that the University of Ghana was built.

I had a cultural shock, when I went to the Physics Laboratory in the University of Ghana. No difference between the one at Accra Academy. The value the same.

Infrastructure Maintenance Zero.
The whole edifice in Accra Academy has depreciated over the years no money for maintenance.

University of Ghana is in a different category, so maintenance is readily done.

The whole Science Lab in Accra Academy became dysfunctional. No funds came from Government and the school was handicapped, so finally Tullow was approached and they are renovating the entire Laboratory.

With the ever increasing students population, the appropriate staff strength required to supervise and help in administration, controlling and mentoring is seriously out of proportion.

Most of the staff do not stay on campus, because of very limited bungalows, besides the current rent charges for accommodation within prime areas like Kaneshie , North Kaneshie , Mataheko etc etc which are near by are quite high, most of the teachers stay very far from the school.

Their daily commute to and from school is a whole issue.

This seriously affects academic work. This has resulted in a very high turnover rates, hence the school is not able to retain the best of teachers.

The students population is over 2,000. Majority of the students are day students.

Their daily commute to and from school is quite laborious which has to be addressed.

This seriously affects academic work and has a negative impact on performance.

In the past some students lived in hostels around the school, without controls.

Getting new boarding houses to solve this problem has been painfully slow and proven elusive.

REHABILITATION AND REFURBISHING THE EXISTING CLASSROOMS TO REFLECT THE CURRENT STANDARDS IN CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT AND TEACHING

All the classrooms have to be refurbished to reflect the current mode in teaching. Most classrooms are almost 60 years old and have never seen any maintenance, due to the inadequate funding from the central government.

Depreciation over the years have had a heavy toll on the infrastructure.

There is a need for a total overall of the classrooms where the use of solar lighting will be mandatory.

• The lighting system
• The ceilings
• The shades
• The Boards
• Notice Board
• White Board
• Projectors
• New Chairs & Tables for the classrooms
• All the projectors have to be protected.

ACADEMIC FACILITY USER & RENEWAL FEES

An Academic Facility User & Renewal Fees should be put in place to help raise additional funds (i.e. Internally Generated Funds) to help with the rehabilitation of the facilities including the buildings which are fast depreciating.

The various stakeholders catalogued below should discuss and accept it for implementation :

• The Board of Governors
• The Parent Teacher Association
• The Education Service
• Etc Etc

We propose a yearly contribution of US$ 20.00 every academic for each student.

Enhancing Sanitation by procuring Additional Water Reservoirs

The initial funds raised should be used in procuring very large water tanks “Rambo” and deployed in the both the boarding houses and academic sites.

More washrooms should be made available in especially the academic sites.

The various wash rooms will be refurbished across the entire span of the school.

The funds raised in subsequent academic years should be directed at specific issues
identified in addition to servicing the proposed Joint-Ventures.

This is a research work I did at Accra Academy.

The ministry of Education has got a number of Units which do Monitoring and Evaluation in one way or another,

1. Inspectorate Division
2. Curriculum Enrichment Programmes
3. Audit is done on regular basis etc
etc

CHASS (Conference of Heads of Assisted Secondary Schools) is a major stakeholder in all these, whose concerns are not addressed by Govt.

The problem in the more than 700 secondary schools is decayed infrastructure , uncompleted buildings littered all over the Entire Country.

First Things First.

I have the opportunity of doing Management Consultancy Work for the Undernoted Schools.

1. Ridge Church School- 1995
2. Ghana International School -2007/2008
3. Lincoln Community School -2006
4. PTA Chairman in one of the Houses in Achimota School.

The free school fees will just represent about 20% of the problem in the education sector.
