The President said his promise to make senior high school free was not to win votes but to transform the lives of Ghanaians from poverty to prosperity. “I made it clear to the people of Ghana that if you elect me, free senior high school will become a reality. The Free Senior High School policy was a major campaign promise of then-candidate Akufo Addo, a promise he has since implemented after winning power in the 2016 elections. The main opposition party NDC has often opposed the policy pointing out infrastructural deficits and saying free senior high school education needed to be implemented “progressively.”
