More needs to be done to improve Free SHS policy – Bawumia

Mahamudu Bawumia, has acknowledged that the Free Senior High School (SHS) policy needs further improvements while noting its success. 

There is more to be done to improve it. I am committed to the Free SHS policy, and I believe it would be safe and sustainable in my hands.

Bawumia also noted that, the policy’s positive impact on student enrollment, particularly in marginalized regions, and its contribution to achieving gender parity in Senior High School (SHS) education.

“It has dramatically boosted student enrollment in senior high schools across the country

“Furthermore, Ghana has now attained gender parity in Senior High School education, as more girls than boys have accessed the program

“The performance of the students in the West African Senior School Certificate Examination last year shows that the free SHS beneficiaries attained the best results since 2014
