General News of Saturday, 4 January 2020Source: Myjoyonline.comFix ‘free SHS enrolment data mess’ – Ablakwa chides gov’tSamuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, MP, North TonguNorth Tongu MP, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has said there seem to be no credible and reliable enrolment data on the actual beneficiaries of government's flagship Free SHS programme. It is deeply troubling and terribly tragic that as a country, we appear not to have credible and reliable enrolment data on the actual beneficiaries of Government's flagship Free SHS programme. Considering the preponderance of conflicting data, one is at a loss how the Finance Minister came to this latest summation. The Education Management Information System (EMIS) Data is an independent comprehensive data source on Ghana's education sector since 1988. The EMIS Data on SHS Enrolment is as follows: SH1 (406,950); SH2 (333,969) and SH3 (284,632) with a combined effect of 1,025,551 gross enrolment.
