CWN Editor's Note: The Ghana Catholic Bishops’ Conference called for an “understandable and demonstrably fair” process of admission into the nation’s secondary schools.
The bishops said that they have “followed with deep concern the difficulties surrounding the ongoing placement of students into senior high schools. Each year, the process brings anxiety, disappointment, and allegations of unfairness to students, parents, and the wider public.”
“No child should be unfairly denied access to a suitable school, manipulated, or humiliated during placement,” the bishops continued. “Every parent deserves a system that is open, accountable, respectful, and free from bribery, discrimination, and undue influence.”
Ghana, a West African nation of 35.3 million (map), is 72% Christian (14% Catholic), 19% Muslim, and 8% ethnic religionist.
