Free SHS: Gov’t to announce implementation plan today
Government will today Thursday, July 27, announce the implementation plan for its flagship policy- Free SHS.
The absence of a clear road map on the rollout of the policy has
generated various discussions especially on the qualification criteria
for beneficiaries.
President Akufo-Addo at his recent media encounter hinted that
well-endowed schools would be required to reserve a percentage of
admissions for students from less privileged basic schools.
“The Policy that is being devised by the ministry of education is
that the so–called relieved schools in Ghana are going to be required to
reserve a 30 percent of places in them to those schools that come from
more disadvantaged backgrounds and locations.
“And it forms a very important part of the reason for the advocacy
that we have given to this idea over the last few years,” the President
said.
The policy was the major campaign message of the NPP in the 2016
elections that saw Akufo-Addo beating incumbent John Mahama of the NDC.
