Accra, Sept 3 GNA – The
attention of the Management of the Ghana Education Service (GES) has been drawn
to the discussion in the media on the alleged importation of school uniforms by
the institution.

“Management wishes
to make it clear that the story is baseless and has no merit whatsoever and has
therefore urged the general public to disregard the erroneous publication.”

These were contained
in a release signed by Ms Cassandra Twum Ampofo, Head of Public Relations Unit
and copied the Ghana News Agency.

“GES wishes to state
that it has not imported neither has it contracted any individual, locally or
internationally to bring in new uniform for the Junior High Schools”.

It would be recalled
that on April this year, Professor Kwasi Amankwa, the Director General of GES
introduced a sample of the new uniform and its design in the media.

He then urged
parents to access those clothes from the open market as it had been the case
with the current uniform.

It must be noted
that the school uniform is not compulsory, the statement added.

It would be phased
out over a period and no student would be prevented from attending school when
the 2019/ 2020 academic year begins in September.
