, Ghana's Minister for Communications and Digitalization, has staunchly defended the 's (NPP) flagship Free Senior High School (SHS) initiative amidst criticism from the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
Speaking on Pure FM in an interview with Kwame Adinkra, the Ablekuma West Member of Parliament argued that the NDC's concerns about the program are unfounded and fail to appreciate the transformative role of education in societal progress.
The NDC has repeatedly criticized the Free SHS program, claiming it diverts resources from other crucial development sectors.
However, Ursula dismissed these criticisms, emphasizing that education remains the cornerstone of national development. "Those who argue that Free SHS sacrifices other areas of development simply do not understand how fundamental education is to solving the challenges we face as a nation," she said firmly.
