The students are also expected to carry along to school, any immunisation card, the Director-General of the GES, Prof Kwasi Opoku Amankwa further directed at a press conference in Accra on Monday.
The press conference was to update the media on the Free SHS policy, the double track system and steps being taken to ensure the smooth take of the double track system as the Green Track begins the academic year tomorrow September 11, 2018.
The directives are part of an initiative by the GES and the Ghana Health Service (GHS) for all first year SHS students to go through health screening programme beginning this year.
Prof Amankwa explained that the rationale behind the screening exercise was aimed at identifying health problems early for effective management to prevent any adverse effect on learning and also promote healthy lifestyle behaviour among students.
