The Ghana Education Service is cautioning political parties to desist from using school campuses as campaign grounds.
In a press release issued by the Ghana Education Service on preparations towards a mop-up exercise to register SHS and TVET students who could not be captured in an earlier one that was held a week ago, the GES said any form of partisan politics on campus will not be tolerated.

“Management of the Ghana Education Service must once again remind the general public especially political party representatives who will be assigned by their parties to observe the process on the various campuses that the schools should not be used as a place for partisan politicking” the statement read.
The New Patriotic Party (NPP) youth organiser Henry Nana Boakye popularly known as Nana B came under severe criticism after he was allegedly reported to have toured some senior high schools in the Ashanti Region where the registration exercise was taking place to campaign.
Deputy Minister for Education Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum says he will investigate into the matter but Nana B has denied campaigning in any school while describing it as mere propaganda from the opposition National Democratic Congress.
The Ghana Education in its release says “arrangement has been made to enable eligible students who could not be registered on 10th and 11th July 2020 have an opportunity to register this second phase”.
