This article examines the problematic nature associated with the appointment of head teachers in Ghanaian senior high schools (SHS) and how this is impacting the governance of schools. The Ghana Education Service (GES) is supposed to make appointments and promotions of head teachers, however there are external bodies that influence the appointment process. With data gathered from deputy head teachers, education officers, and senior teachers from selected schools, the study examined the problematic nature of head teacher appointment and the nature of school governance. The results showed that although the GES is making efforts to promote good governance through the school leadership, there are still some controversies and challenges that affect the effectiveness of their work. To address this, the study concludes that, the GES must streamline its appointments and promotion guidelines so as to eliminate any external pressures and influences to promote improvement and ensure continuity.

In educational institutions, one of the resources that need to be managed properly is school financial resources. However, there are still many schools that have not managed their financial resources optimally, one of which is in the student financial administration process which is still done manually, namely by recording with books or recording with spreadsheet software. This has the risk of data being damaged, data lost, difficult to evaluate and monitoring, and less effective in student financial administration services. The same is the case with PESAT Bogor school, where schools still use spreadsheet software in financial administration. So in this study, the implementation of an integrated financial administration system at SMP, SMA, and SMK PESAT is integrated (Si-AKSES) in order to create optimal school governance, especially in the financial administration process. The software development uses the waterfall method which is implemented with the MySQL database, the PHP programming language and the CodeIgniter framework. With the existence of Si-AKSES, it can facilitate PESAT schools in providing services to students who want to make school financial payments, recording student transactions from the start of entry to graduation, controlling student arrears, reporting processes, and so that school finances are more controllable and transparent.
