President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has emphasized his administration’s dedication to the free senior high school initiative.
Despite the current economic difficulties, he claimed, his administration will continue to pay attention to the Free SHS program because of its positive effects on young people.
“Government will continue to intervene and remain responsible for the provision of free, quality basic and secondary education for all. Education should be a right for all of Ghana’s youth.
“Education is the equalizer for opportunities. I want every child to be in school not only for what they learn in the books but also for the life experiences that they will gain,” he said at the University of Health and Allied Sciences (UHAS), in Ho, on Friday, July 15.
For the University’s tenth anniversary celebration, Akufo-Addo was in Ho.
The Free SHS policy has gained attention recently as the government looks to partner with the IMF on a scheme during an economic crisis.
