- The next National Democratic Congress (NDC) administration, according to former president John Dramani Mahama, will review the Free Senior High School policy during its 100 days in office in order to address the plethora of issues impacting it.
- During a meeting with the Trade Union Congress (TUC) leadership on Tuesday, Nov. 7, 2023, in Accra, former President Mahama stated that the policy needed to be reviewed due to its numerous issues.
- One of the government’s main initiatives, the policy gives all eligible students the chance to pursue a senior high school education. The large number of pupils, the two-system it required, and the insufficient food supply to feed the swarming kids have all led to criticisms of it in recent times.
- Within the first 100 days in government, we will convene a stakeholder summit that brings together educationists, experts, teachers, parents, students and opinion leaders to deliberate on how to improve the implementation of the Free SHS system and also improve the quality of our basic education,” Mr Mahama, who is also the flag bearer of the opposition NDC, said.
