The Director of Eagles College Kumasi, Mr Clement Adjei Sarfo has said about 95 per cent of Private Schools have not received Government’s National Board for Small Scale Industries (NBSSI) Covid-19 Stimulus Package.

"About 95 of we the private schools haven't received government's Stimulus Package. Those who received it did not even get ten thousand Ghana Cedis".

The government reopened schools in the middle of January 2021 after a shut down since March 2020 due to the outbreak of pandemic coronavirus. 

At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in Ghana, a programme was instituted by the government via National Board for Small Scale Industries (NBSSI) to provide COVID-19 financial support loans to businesses severely hit by COVID-19.

The stimulus packages were to help alleviate the plight of affected organizations.
