The Education Directorate in the Eastern Region is attributing the high enrollment in public schools in the region in the 2023 academic year to solid government interventions put in place at all public schools across the country.
According to the Education Directorate in the New Juaben South Municipality, data from surveillance conducted by education officials revealed a high number of parents seeking admission to public junior high schools from private schools for their children.
In an interview with Citi News on the sidelines of the donation of 1,500 dual desks, tables and chairs for teachers, and cupboards for 24 schools in Koforidua by the New Juaben South Municipal Assembly, the Municipal Director of Education, Mustapha Haruna, revealed that a number of parents are still pleading for admission for their children because public schools in Koforidua are now very attractive.
On his part, the Municipal Chief Executive for New Juaben South, Isaac Appau-Gyasi, dismissed claims that the high enrollment from private schools into public schools is a result of the current economic hardships.
He assured the government’s commitment to continue sustaining policies such as the one free hot meal, improving infrastructure, and motivating teachers in public schools to give their best.
