The Ghana Education Service has issued a denial regarding a social media rumour about the Free Senior High School policy. Reports suggested the policy had been cancelled.
The service stated that claims of parents being asked to pay GH¢1,500 for chop boxes and trunks are untrue. This information was spread on social media platforms.
A statement from the GES on Tuesday, August 18, 2026, described the publication as false. The service is warning the public against believing these rumours.
The GES has urged the public to be cautious and verify information directly with the service. They emphasized that the Free SHS policy remains in effect.
This false information appears to be a scam aimed at defrauding parents. The GES is taking steps to address the spread of misinformation.
