“I don’t believe that children of MP’s, Ministers, the Governor of the Bank of Ghana, Managers of institutions, corporate giants, their chief executives should all be benefitting from free SHS. When you look at this year’s budget, for instance, only GHC 400 million was found for free SHS which can cover not even all the first years, not even to the second year and third-year students. The Free Senior High School Program is scheduled to take off in September this year. The program will ensure that all students of public senior high schools (SHS) in the country will receive free funding from the first to the third year. “The government of Ghana will fund the cost of public senior high schools for all those who qualify for entry from the 2017/2018 academic year onwards,” he said.
