Kofi Asare, Executive Director of Africa Education Watch (Eduwatch) in Ghana, is advocating for a policy change regarding senior high school (SHS) admissions. He is urging the government to eliminate the practice of using an F9 grade – a failing grade – as an automatic barrier to entry into SHS. Asare believes this policy unfairly disadvantages students and limits access to secondary education. Removing this hurdle, he argues, would align with broader efforts to increase educational opportunities for all Ghanaian students. The advocate’s call focuses on creating a more inclusive system and reducing barriers to further education in Ghana. The hope is that a reevaluation of the admission criteria will benefit a wider range of students seeking access to SHS.
