Dr. Adutwum was speaking at the 65th speech and prize giving day of the Saint Louis SHS in Kumasi. The Deputy Education Minister criticized the situation where many young people were unable to access SHS because of the financial circumstances of their family and said “as a nation we cannot continue like this”. He said the cornerstone of the free SHS policy, which would start in the coming September, was that no child was denied the opportunity of senior high education by reason of their financial circumstances. Mrs. Theresa Addae Commeh, the Headmistress, stated that discipline and academic performance were high in the school.
