The Conference of Heads of  Private Second Cycle-Schools (CHOPSS) on Saturday cautioned against the introduction of the Free Senior High School policy.

According to him, although the programme to provide free secondary education is in the "interest and wellbeing of students and Ghanaians as a whole, it is also imperative that we look what is the thing that can equally be done to help the private ones to be sustained."

"Private schools sustain their existence from the mob up they get from candidates [who obtain] aggregate 32. Now it has been extended to 42," he said in an interview with Citi FM.

"So our question is with the introduction of this free SHS,, we are yet to hear from government if they are going to back to the old system where the cut off [point] was 32 or they will still operate with the existing one like aggregate 40 to 42.

"If it so happens like that, then those who did not even qualify for admission into public institutions that we relied on, now because it is free, and they'll still qualified, it means that come two years, three years, four years, there will not be private SHS," he added.
