The spokesperson of the Regional Coordinators of Private Schools, Pastor Nelson Aho who spoke on behalf of the all the Coordinators on Friday, 5th February 2021 made this revelation during the National leadership and Regional coordinators of Ghana National Council of Private Schools meeting to receive and discuss all feedback from private schools on school reopen and COVID-19 compliance in schools, at the Council’s Secretariat- Atomic Energy commission in the Greater Accra region.
He revealed that there were few areas where some schools have complained that officers in charge of the distribution of these PPEs are using it as a mechanism to extort monies from some private schools.
