According to Brigadier-General Nunoo-Mensah, the Free SHS plan was more focused on getting votes for the party at the time, than providing a better educational system for Ghanaians“I don’t think we planned it with honesty. There was a political purpose to use it to win votes. We did it to win votes not because we want to create a better system of education,’’ he said. Brigadier-General Joseph Nunoo-Mensah cited the British educational system as one that looks out for the betterment of its citizenry. Meanwhile, the former Education Minister, Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh, in January last year scored the Free Senior High School (SHS) education policy as the most successful programme of the ministry over the past three years.
