A group identified as the Ridge Church School Concerned Parents Association has expressed concern about the institution’s administration plan to resume school activities for a new academic year.
According to them, there was no agreement on the current rates or the conduct of the exam.
They said parents received a communication from the school administration describing the promotional testing schedule, which was a surprise.
In a statement signed by the group’s president, David Tetteh-Amey Abbey, they alleged that the school has introduced a measure that would ensure that the money is paid out on a mandatory basis.
However, the school turned a deaf ear and a deaf ear to his request.
“Concerned Parents officially asked the school administration and Ridge Church Council to discuss this fee. We are saddened to report that Ridge Church School has actively refused to acknowledge the request and initiate any dialogue regarding it. Instead, Ridge Church School has uncompromisingly and flagrantly charting its own course, in contravention of the Ghana Education Service and the Office of the President of the Republic of Ghana, ”the statement read.
They believe the school has violated the Ghana Education Service directive which states that the third quarter of all schools has been canceled.

The school’s management has not yet officially responded to the statement.
However, the Education Ministry says that a committee headed by former Education Minister Professor Dominic Fobih presented a report on how schools will resume and continue for the remainder of the 2020/21 academic year.
The findings and recommendations made in the report are awaiting government approval.
Following the coronavirus outbreak in March, the government ordered the closure of schools to prevent further spread.
But, seniors at various levels of education were allowed to go back to school and write their exit exams.
