According to Child Rights International (CRI), senior high schools should enhance the quota system intended for students from rural and underprivileged areas from 30% to 40%.
The organisation said that even while the 30% quota was producing excellent results, an increase would quadruple the policy's overall advantages for children from underprivileged communities.
If the government "aims to implement and have a comprehensive policy that would address the needs of rural children, then the quota system should be reviewed and, if possible, pegged at 40% to give more children the opportunity to have access to secondary school," according to a statement signed by Bright Appiah, Executive Director of the CRI.
Majority
The majority of Ghanaian youngsters from rural communities would benefit from increased access to secondary school, it claimed, as well as a shift in lifestyle and the status quo.
"As a nation, we have observed the advantages of expanding children's access to high-quality education. The statement said, "Ghana might be on its way to scaling the literacy rate among its inhabitants in the next few years if more measures are adopted and the quota system is expanded.
Policy
The CRI also requested that the 40% increase in the rural community quota be safeguarded so that it would not be altered by changes to the government.
It added that Grade "A" schools must work to ensure that children from rural communities received proper training that would empower them like their counterparts. "A clear directive policy must be put in place since that would make it impossible for a reverse should there be a change in government," it said.
The CRI stated that since the 30% quota for rural communities was put in place, it has continued to provide better results when students from those communities had access to Grade "A" and "B" schools.
According to the statement, "This approach has favored rural areas, taking into account the situations they find themselves in and how they can ableable to complete their tests."
Revelation
According to data performed by the organisation, students who come from rural areas and have access to secondary schools that provide a fair playing field outperform their peers who attend prestigious institutions.
The statement said, "They are also able to cultivate the correct attitude where they let go of any false idea that would have otherwise hindered their future aims and dreams."
The CRI applauded the Ministry of Education and the Ghana Education Service (GES) for their efficiency in putting the new computerised system's 30% quota system—reserved for applicants from local communities—into place.
