Consider Private Schools in Tax Exemptions Policy- Government Told

The Manager of Palmar International School, Mr. Daniel Appiah has called on the government to consider private schools in it tax exemptions policy to pave the way for job creation.

According to Mr. Appiah, the numerous challenges faced by private institutions are taxes being imposed on them, which, as a result, is collapsing more.

He continued that if the government can exempt some taxes imposed on private institutions, it could help employ more people, which in the end can reduce the employment rate in the country.

The Manager of Palmar International School added that, although teachers and management of the school is doing their very best for the pupils and students, parents and guardians also need to contribute to quota for betterment of their kids future.

Mr. Daniel Appiah made this call when Palmar International School was celebrating it 8th graduation ceremony with the theme “Shaping the Future of the Generation Alpha Learner, the Role of the 21st Century Teacher and Parent”.

Professor Ebenezer Bonya, Lecturer at Akenten Appiah Minka University of Skill Training and Entrepreneurial Development (AAMUSTED), Department of Mathematics Education urged parents and guardian to pay equal attention to their wards in public schools as given to those in the private sector.

Professor Bonya said it is very worrying when some kids in private schools are given the educational amenities needed to improve their learning ability by parents, while those in the public sector are left to rely soley on government for everything.

“Most poor performance by some pupils and students in the public sector is as a result of negligence by some parents and guardians which need to be tackled,” he added.
