Officials of the Ghana Education Service(GES) in the Gushegu District have come under fire for making a student who is pursuing further studies at Simon Diedong Dombo University of Business and Integrated Development Studies (SDD UBIDS) travel over 428km to receive a cash award of Ghc200.
Narrating his frustration to the media, he revealed “I went to Gushegu on the 6th March day that was yesterday for the award as best WASSCE student of Gushegu SHS. I was presented with an envelope (containing 200 ghc) by the education director”
Angry social media reactions have greeted the conduct of the Education Directorate who took Ghc43,515.00 from the Member of Parliament(MP) from the area in organising the event which coincided with the 66th Independence Day Celebration.
Meanwhile, the Member of Parliament (MP) for the Constituency has denied his involvement in the award of GHc200to the Best WASSCE student in the Gushegu district.
