Ghana: Private Basic Schools Commended for Withstanding Capitation Grant Scare

The South District Coordinating Director (DCD), Thaddeus Zaasan, has commended private basic schools in Ghana for withstanding the scare of the Capitation Grant. He said many Ghanaians thought the private schools would collapse when the Capitation Grant which made public basic schools fee-free was introduced, but through hard work and effective management, the private schools were even getting stronger.

Zaasan advised management of public schools to learn from the private schools to enhance efficiency in their schools. Nana Abena Gyamfoah II, Queenmother of Nyankomase Ahenkro, urged parents to take interest in their children's education by getting in touch with their teachers to know how they were faring in school and also by providing them with their needs.
