Abstract
The introduction of community day senior high schools in less developed communities in Ghana
has gained dominance in public discussions due to the challenges associated with it. As a result, a
lot of questions have been asked as to how the system can be improved to deliver the main aim of
education in the country. To this end, the research aimed at exploring the roles of the stakeholders
with the objectives of identifying the significant stakeholders, identifying the important roles of
stakeholders, and identifying the critical challenges stakeholders are facing. Purposive sampling
technique was applied to the population of three community day senior high schools in the Greater
Accra Region. A survey questionnaire was therefore administered to parents, students, teachers,
principals, Ghana Education Service (GES), Ministry of Education (MoE) and district assemblies
where these schools are situated to solicit for information. The data collected was subjected to
quantitative analysis using SPSS 23.0 (Statistical Package for Social Sciences), the mean method
and the Relative Importance Index (RII). From the analysis, the study concludes that there are nine
significant stakeholders, seven important roles played by these stakeholders and six critical
challenges these stakeholders are facing in the implementation of the community day senior high
schools. In the efforts of improving the quality of education, it is recommended that, researchers
use the information provided herein as it adds to the general body of knowledge on senior high
schools. Moreover, key among the many suggestions made by the stakeholders was that, Parent Teacher Association (PTA) meetings must be organized at least once a term to enable parents
