President Akufo-Addo has expressed his pride in the successful implementation of the Free Senior High School (FSHS) policy, introduced by his government in 2017.

Speaking at the climax of the 75th Anniversary of Prempeh College in Kumasi, the President said despite the shortcomings of the program amidst global economic challenges, his government has maintained its commitment to providing free secondary education to all Ghanaian students. "I'm proud that despite the COVID-19 pandemic, we have maintained and saw the successful implementation of the Free SHS policy," President Akufo-Addo said. "We have not wavered in our commitment to providing free education to all Ghanaian students, and we will continue to work towards making sure that every child in Ghana has access to quality education".

The Free SHS policy was introduced by the Akufo-Addo government in 2017 to increase access to education for all Ghanaian students.

The policy has been widely praised for its impact on education in Ghana, with over 5.7 million students benefiting from the program so far.
