Kwame Sefa-Kayi, an ace broadcaster, has pushed the government to reconsider the Free Senior High (SHS) policy and enable wealthy parents to pay for their children’s tuition.
The government should begin reconsidering the FREE SHS program five years after it was implemented, according to the Peace FM Kokrokoo show host.
Kwami Sefa-Kayi feels that a review of the policy will allow those in desperate need to benefit from it while those with the means to pay are permitted to do so.
“I‘m not sure why we haven’t revisited the Free SHS program, which we introduced five years ago.” How can someone living in East Legon be forced to pay school tuition for their child at Achimota?
“In my opinion, the government should cover tuition, library fees, and other costs, but boarding school students should pay.”
How will the government be able to buy school uniforms, exercise books, and past questions? Have you ever heard of such a thing? He enquired, “Do we buy past questions?”
Many pupils have benefited from the Free SHS policy, which was implemented in 2017. The quality of education, on the other hand, has been questioned.
With such a large number of students and a shortage of infrastructure to accommodate them, Kwami Sefa-Kayi and many other like-minded Ghasnasna believe the FREE SHS policy should be revisited and fine-tuned.
