The University of Memphis is set to host (NAPO), former Minister of Energy and Education in Ghana, on October 18, 2024, to discuss the success story of the Free Senior High School (SHS).
As part of a broader discussion on global education policy, NAPO will deliver a lecture titled "Implementing a National Policy for Educational Access and Equity." This event, taking place in UC Bluff Room (304) at 10:00 AM, comes at a crucial time when issues of educational access are increasingly urgent worldwide.
NAPO's address is expected to offer a detailed look at how national policies, like the Free SHS program, can be implemented effectively to ensure equal access to education for all, setting a model for other nations to follow.
The Free Senior High School (SHS) Program in Ghana is a government initiative launched in September 2017 aimed at providing free secondary education to all eligible students across the country.
