Vincent Ekow Assafuah, the member of parliament representing the Old Tafo seat, has supported the Free Senior High School (SHS) policy, saying that it shouldn’t be revisited.
He feels that studying beneath trees is preferable to students not being able to attend school.
Mr. Assafuah’s remarks are in reaction to requests for a review of the Free SHS policy, which Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum, the Minister of Education, has angrily rejected.
On Wednesday, January 31, 2024, Mr. Assafuah acknowledged the difficulties facing the education industry in a Citi News interview.
But the solution, the Old Tafo MP stressed is not in reviewing the policy.
“For me, it is better for a young person to sit on the floor without a desk to learn rather than not being educated. It is better for a young person to go to school without slippers and be educated than not being educated at all” Mr. Assafuah added.
