| GES approves new feeding fee |
| Wednesday, 02 November 2011 04:32 |
 The Ghana Education Service (GES) has approved a new feeding fee of GH¢1.80 per day for boarding students in senior high schools,
following a request by the Conference of Heads of Assisted Secondary Schools (CHASS) for an upward review of the old fee of GH¢1.40 per student per day.With the approval, the new fees for boarding students will be GH¢328.70 while day students will pay GH¢160.70. In the case of foreign students, they will pay GH¢468.72. The new fees exclude the Parent-Teacher Association (PTA) levies charged by schools but take care of provision of two sets of uniforms, two sets of house dresses, a house jersey, admission fee, Students Representative Council dues, and Science Resource Centre dues. The President of CHASS, Mr Samuel Ofori-Adjei, told the Daily Graphic in Accra Sunday that although the conference had wanted GH¢2 per student per day, “we would manage with the GH¢1.80”. He explained that the feeding fee was not only for the feeding of students, but also used for the purchase of gas for cooking, transportation of foodstuffs to the various schools and the repair and replacement of kitchen items. He suggested that in future the Ministry of Food and Agriculture and the Ministry of Health should be involved in the process to determine what went into the feeding of students to ensure that it was comprehensively done. On the issue of admission list, Mr Ofori-Adjei said the various senior high schools had received the list of first year students from the GES. In Accra Academy for instance, where he is the headmaster, he said, more than 300 parents had already picked their children’s prospectus with the remaining 200 expected to pick their prospectus this week. The CHASS President said although the GES had asked first year students to report at school on October 31, 2011, the school authorities had given the students up to November 4, 2011 to report. That, he said, was in view of the late arrival of the list of students from the Computerised Schools Selection and Placement System (CSSPS) Secretariat. Concerning academic activities for the first year students, he said a contingency plan had been put in place to make up for six weeks already lost in the first term for the fresh students, adding that first year students would be made to come before the continuing students when school reopened for the second term. In addition, he said, the first year students would be made to stay a little while during the Easter break, all with the aim of making them to cover the period lost. He said for the three-year senior high school programme, nine terms’ work was actually done in six terms.

Michael Jordan continued to dominate the NBA while wearing the Jordan IV. That year MJ won another scoring title averaging 32.5 points a game. He also made an appearance in the All-Star game and was named First Team NBA and All Defense.This shoe was also front and center during the Spike Lee and Michael Jordan commercials that were extremely popular at the time. The same commercials that featured Lee as Mars Blackman insisting that "it's got to be the shoes"! These ads were quite effective in the marketing of the Air Jordan IV. In fact, a pair of Jordan IV's was featured in Lee's movie "Do The Right Thing".

Blending the craftsmanship of the Jordan 12 and the platform of the Air Force 1 make Jordan AJF 12 shoes became a classic pattern. A rare opportunity to see these two titans, as the best of both worlds, unite as one. The Jordan Brand is celebrating year 23 just as the Air Force 1 is coming off its 25th anniversary. As these two franchises join forces for the first time, this new visual expression is destined to become the ultimate statement for the sneaker aficionados around the world.For example ,the Jordan AJF 12 men's shoe is a hot basketball hybrid that lives up to the hype.
