"Before you are admitted into any Senior High School now or currently.the person should go through the computerized school selection system''.
''If you have a student in your school who has been placed in the school by the system and has been admitted manually by the headmaster of the school and again the head has charged the students fees than for us it is a pure act of our the GES administrative regulation''. She said.
According to reports, the management of the Ghana Education Service (GES) descended heavily on two headmasters for their alleged involvement in illegal admission of students and collection of money from students under the free senior high school (SHS) programme.
