Abstract
This research explored the implications of state-funded secondary education
policy for private school management in Ghana. The research used the
qualitative approach relying on phenomenological design. Based on
expert in modal purposive sampling techniques, a representative of
Ghana’s Ministry of Education, and 10 managers of 10 accredited private
senior high schools in one of the country’s regions took part in individual
interviews. I analyzed the data using interpretative phenomenology
approaches. Falling enrollment, inability to recruit enough qualified teachers
and low revenue emerged as challenges facing private secondary school
management. To overcome the issues, the managers resorted to contingency measures.
