The Vice-Chancellor and Founder of All Nations University (ANU), Dr Samuel Donkor, has urged stakeholders in the education sector to consider innovative funding strategies in order to ensure the long-term sustainability of Ghana's Free Secondary Education (Free SHS) Programme.
Speaking at the 32nd graduation ceremony of ANU in Koforidua at the Weekend, Dr Donkor suggested exploring the issuance of educational bonds as a potential solution to secure consistent funding for the programme.
According to Dr Donkor, the Free SHS initiative was pivotal to Ghana's economic growth and prosperity.
He explained that by providing young people with the skills needed for a knowledge-driven economy, the programme helped to develop the country's human capital, which was essential for driving sectors like technology, manufacturing, and services.
