GES satisfied with successful voter registration in Senior High Schools

Management of the Ghana Education Service (GES) has expressed gratitude to stakeholders for successfully organising voter registration exercise in the various second cycle institutions.

The Electoral Commission (EC) organised the exercise at the premises of the Senior High Schools as well as Technical and Vocational Education and Training institutes nationwide on Friday and Saturday, July 10 and 11 respectively.

The two-day special exercise was targeted at final year students and those in form-two gold track who were 18 years or more but could not join the mainstream exercise because they were in school.

“The Director-General and Management of Ghana Education Service (GES), wish to express sincere appreciation to Directors of Education, Heads of Schools, Staff and Students, Electoral Commission Officials as well as political party officials and observer groups for the successful organization of the two-days, Friday 10th and Saturday 11th July 2020, voter registration of eligible students on our SHS/TVETs school campuses.”

The statement also indicated that additional days will be announced to ensure that all eligible students who could not take advantage of the first opportunity are registered.

The statement further urged all schools, EC officials and political party representatives to comply strictly with all COVID-19 protocols to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus pandemic.
