The Member of Parliament for South Dayi and Majority Chief Whip, Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor, has described the Senior High School (SHS) prospectus as “huge and heavily laden”, calling for a review of the list of items students are required to take to school.
In a post on his X page, the MP questioned whether newly admitted SHS students genuinely need to present all the items listed in their prospectuses when they report to school.

“Honestly, must a fresh SHS Student present all these listed items to school as a freshman or woman?”
He said the extensive nature of the prospectus had become a major concern for parents, particularly because of the financial burden associated with meeting the requirements.
“This heavily-laden but compulsory prospectus has become a major source of bother to parents as the financial burden is offloaded onto MPs every year,” he said.
