A group of university lecturers advocating the sustainability of the Free Senior High School (SHS) policy in Ghana has expressed reservations about the ability of former President John Dramani Mahama to manage and sustain the initiative.
The group, known as University Lecturers for Free SHS Ghana, has declared that "Mahama's leadership track record and policy inconsistencies" render him unfit to oversee the continuity of the flagship educational policy.
Addressing a press conference at the School of Business Conference Hall, University of Cape Coast (UCC), on Monday, November 25, 2024, the convenor of the group, Prof.
Isaac Boadi, who is also Dean, Faculty and Accounting, University of Professional Studies, Accra, UPSA, emphasised that the Free SHS policy, introduced in 2017 under President 's administration, had significantly transformed access to secondary education in Ghana.
