Parents whose wards have been placed into Senior High School under the computerized selection system are getting frustrated over delayed admission letters. They are blaming the Ministry of Education for the situation which kept their wards at home with the attendant social implications. Anxious parents have been visiting or making repeated phone calls to respective schools of placement with no certainty about when their children will go to school. The agitated parents have been visiting campuses of some schools in the Ashanti Region. It is been about six weeks now since schools re-opened for the new academic year. As some prepare for the mid-term break next week, first-year students are yet to report for school. Parents from far and near have been trooping to the schools, with high hopes, at least, of picking prospectus for their wards. Their only source of information on their admission status of their children is via SMS. The expression on their faces in reaction to the unfavorable response from school authorities tells it all about their frustration. Nhyira Fm has sighted a letter from the Education Ministry warning school heads against admitting students outside the computer placement. The circular signed by the Chief Director, Major M.S. Tara (rtd), indicates that students admitted outside the computer placements will not be supported by government. “... the Ministry has directed that any head of any Senior High School who admits any candidate outside the CSSPS will not receive government subsidy for the affected candidates”. “Five years into the new system, some heads of Senior High Schools, through acts of omission or commission, have brought the placement process into disrepute, thus causing embarrassment to Ministry of Education and Government”, the letter stated. Some heads dismissed the ministry’s claims, arguing they only bow to pressure from government officials and other functionaries for protocol admission. For parents, their beef is that they have been kept in the dark on the fate of their children. “Now that they (children) are sitting in the house, schools are getting closer to their mid-term and so if this list doesn’t come out in time, the students will come to school and spend about a month in school and have to go home again”, one parent complained. Another said “infact we are fed up with this government about the whole educational system in the country. Look at the situation that a ward would get between aggregate 6 and 15 and would not be able to get school. So what are they expecting from us”, he questioned. "It’s very worrying. You go to work and come back and your kid asks you ‘daddy when I am going to school? Is the list out?' The kids are also frustrated”, one parent said. Meanwhile, education authorities in the region have declined comment on the matter. A senior officer at the Regional Education Directorate only called on parents to be patient.
