ASRC commends Gov’t for initiatives taken to ensure affordability of education at Senior High School level

The Ashanti Regional Students Representative Council, ASRC has commended government for the initiatives being taken not just to increase access and quality of formal education, particularly in the Ashanti Region, but also to ensure affordability at the senior high school level.

The ASRC, which is the umbrella body for second cycle students in the region, expressed appreciation for the establishment of three new senior high schools in the Afigya Kwabre and Bosomtwe districts and the Ejisu-Juaben Municipality.

Addressing the media in Kumasi as part of the 18th Annual Ashanti Regional SRC Week celebration, the President of the ASRC, Nana Kwesi Bediako Ampaw, lauded government for removing unapproved components of fees of senior high schools saying this will help ease the financial burden on parents.

The deployment of teachers to rural areas would also ensure some level of equity in the distribution of teachers across the country.
