The ongoing debate surrounding the Ghana Education Service (GES) and the Methodist Church’s Wesley Girls’ High School has sparked heated discussions nationwide. However, a straightforward solution presents itself: the Methodist Church should consider withdrawing Wesley Girls from GES school placement platforms and government assistance, opting for a fully private institution status.
By doing so, the church can exercise its right to set its own admission criteria, including the freedom to select students based on their values and standards. This move would allow the school to maintain its unique identity and uphold its principles without external pressures.
Here’s a possible implementation:
– Starting from the next academic year, Wesley Girls’ High School could charge tuition and boarding fees, making it accessible to those who can afford it and accept the school’s rules.
– The government could provide financial assistance to students who cannot afford the fees, ensuring that deserving students are not left behind.
– By taking this step, the Methodist Church can resolve the Gey Hey issue and focus on providing quality education to those who choose to attend.
This approach would allow all parties to part ways amicably, with the church maintaining its autonomy and the government supporting students who require financial aid. It’s time for a straightforward solution that respects the rights of all involved.
