CHASS Crisis in Secondary Schools
The Conference of Heads of Assisted Secondary Schools (CHASS) is facing a crisis, with headmasters being cautious about speaking due to threats.
The Conference of Heads of Assisted Secondary Schools (CHASS) in Ghana is currently facing a crisis. Headmasters have been cautious about speaking out due to threats and warnings from government authorities1. CHASS has received multiple complaints from school heads regarding these threats. The organization has been vocal about the challenges facing secondary schools, but the restrictive communication protocol within the Ghana Education Service (GES) requires school heads to seek permission from Regional Directors or even the Director-General before commenting publicly1.
CHASS has also expressed concerns over delays in food supplies at some senior high schools, despite directives from the government to facilitate distribution. The organization had advised against reopening schools without addressing financial constraints, which could disrupt the education process2.
It’s a challenging situation, and it seems like CHASS is working hard to address these issues while navigating the complexities of communication and government directives.
