In Ghana, the demand for SHS education has increased and this has been fueled by the increasing population and high completion rate at the junior high school level.

However, there remain inequities in this demand for improved education as the youth typically either do not have adequate qualifications to enter SHS or cannot afford to move or commute to the schools where they are placed by the Computerized School Selection
and Placement System (CSSPS)

What are the criteria for school selection?

The project supports 125 existing SHSs in Ghana and out of this,50 SHSs will benefit from facilities improvements. All 125 schools will benefit from quality activities.

To select existing schools to benefit from the project, schools were chosen out of districts in need of SHS expansion and quality improvements. The ranking of 216 districts using the poverty index, demand for SHS, and district population was applied, as above.

After removing districts with no public SHS, 100 districts ranked as most in need were selected and all 221 public SHSs in these districts were eligible to be ranked.

What is the SEIP intended for?

The objective of the Secondary Education Improvement Project is to increase access to senior secondary education in underserved districts and improve quality in low-performing SHS in Ghana. The project is targeted to ensure resources focus on considerations of equity. Selection of project sites and beneficiaries involves objective criteria based on data from the Population Census, Ghana Living Standards Survey 6, and the annual school census based on the Education Management Information System
