President Nana Addo has expressed delight and pride in the exploits of the Free SHS programme, since its implementation some five years ago.
‘’I want to say, without equivocation, that I am very proud of the policy and of its results thus far, ‘’ the President noted in his address.
He mentioned that although the implementation of the policy has come with its own challenges, the government has been able to substantially address most challenges.
He made this observation when he joined in the celebration of the 70th Anniversary of Tamale Senior High School in Northern Regional Capital, on December 11, 2021.
The event, which was also attended by the Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, had many other distinguished personalities in attendance.
H.E Nana Addo noted that the results of the 2020 and 2021 free SHS students gives further evidence of why the policy has been successful.
He parried away suggestions that the Free SHS policy has lowered academic standards in Senior high schools.
The Free SHS policy has since its implementation guaranteed a minimum senior high school education for some 1.6 million Ghanaians.
