About 137,000 fresh S.H.S students have failed to report in the Western North region due to financial challenges-CHASS.

The Conference of Heads of Assisted Secondary Schools (CHASS) in the Western North Region states that about 137,000 fresh senior high school students are yet to report to school despite gaining admission.

CHASS bemoans that although schools reopened for fresh SHS students on December 4, 2023, a little over half of the total candidates placed in schools in the Western North Region are yet to report to their respective schools due to financial challenges faced by their parents, most of whom are cocoa farmers.

Speaking to the media, the President of CHASS in the Western North Region, Nana Amo Amankwah, expressed concern about the situation.
