Precfectorial and leadership in general in most Senior High Schools in Ghana have reached a cross road, with most heads of school not knowing what to do. Other heads of school have also taken a wrong legislation to solve this jigsaw puzzlec created by the ATTA MILLS administration. he UNCLE ATTTA amininistration which is the current governmement decided to fulfil a manifesto promise by changing the Ghanaian Educational System from four years to three years. These have created a situation where currrent form two student willl have to complete and subsequently write the same final paper with the form three.Due to the fact that they will all be leaving the school in the same year, heads of schools as stated earlier do not know how to share the prefect slot. Since do not know if they should share the prefects among the form 2s and 3s which we call "pairing" or let the form 3s due to their seniority and their long stay in the school take all the prefectoriaship to themselves or open nomination for an election to be conducted and the winner running the student administration irrespective of his form.
But other schools like Legon Presbyterian High School and Achimota Senior High School according to unconfirmed reports are planning to allocate prefects to only form 3 whilst St. Pauls Senior High School, Anloga Senior High, Tema Methodist Senior High have also decided to share the prefects among the form 2s and 3s with the form 3s occupying the senior post and the form 2s serving as the deputies. It is quite interesting to know that Volta Region's Premier Senior High School, Ketasco, is actually at a stand still as to what to do with the prefect slot. Investigations conducted indicate that the Electoral Commissioner of the school and his Deputy, Mr. Xatser-Zor (Electoral Commissioner ) and Mr. Nukunu Fogah ( Deputy Electoral Commissioner / Aspiring NDC Parliamentary Candidate for Ketu South) have all submitted their reports to the school advising the school to go all out for a form 3 student administration. The headmaster of the school who has the final say has officially not come out to say anything despite the fact that elections are slated for the 16th of Febrary, which is in three weeks time.
The fact still remains that no matter what decision a school takes, it will either favour one side and deprive the other side of its privileges which might spell doom for the school. Prefectoriaship definitely stinks in senior high schools.
