The GES has released the new SHS1 prospectus for Day and Boarding students. The new SHS1 prospectus covers the anticipated list of items that students are to supply to schools when they are officially reporting to school.
This is the first time in the history of the Ghana Education Service that a harmonised school prospectus has been adopted with the aim of ensuring parents are not overburdened with “irrelevant” items often required by public SHS when form ones are to report to school.
The general public has praised the GES for being proactive in dealing with the issue, which has become a worrying bottleneck in the last few years.
