Key Highlights:

1. Collaborative Effort: The Ministry is working closely with stakeholders, including the Ghana National Council of Private Schools (GNACOPS), to ensure a smooth implementation process. 2. Selection Criteria: Schools were selected based on their locations and the current public schools with overflow, aiming to address issues of access and infrastructure. 3. Pilot Program : The inclusion of private schools in the FSHS policy is a pilot initiative, with the potential for expansion to other schools in subsequent phases.

Implications:

1. Increased Access: The inclusion of private schools in the FSHS policy can increase access to quality education for more students, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds. 2. Improved Infrastructure: The pilot program may lead to improved infrastructure and resources in participating private schools, enhancing the overall learning environment. 3. Partnership and Collaboration: The Ministry's collaboration with GNACOPS and other stakeholders demonstrates the importance of partnership in achieving educational goals.

Next Steps:

1. Preparation and Capacity Building: Schools selected for the pilot program will need to prepare for the implementation of the FSHS policy, including capacity building for staff and infrastructure development. 2. Monitoring and Evaluation: The Ministry and its agencies will need to closely monitor the pilot program, evaluating its effectiveness and identifying areas for improvement. 3. Expansion and Sustainability: The success of the pilot program will depend on careful planning, effective implementation, and sustainable funding models.
