The Akufo-Addo administration has earned the praise of the World Bank (WB) over the implementation of the Free Senior High School (SHS) policyVice President of the World Bank, Hafez Ghanem, said the government’s ability to implement the policy is indicative of its determination to move the country towards the path of prosperity. The World Bank deputy boss made the remarks when he paid a courtesy call on President Akufo-Addo at the Jubilee House in Accra yesterday. President Akufo-Addo pledged to shun complacency and touched on plans by his government to redefine basic education in Ghana by making basic and secondary education compulsory. According to him, this would become a strong legal weapon for ensuring that all children, especially girls of school-going age, stay in school until at least they complete secondary education. President Akufo-Addo expressed appreciation to the World Bank and other institutions such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for being ‘proactive’ to the cause of Ghana.
