A group of university lecturers, collectively known as University Lecturers for Free SHS, has expressed their strong support for the Free Senior High School (SHS) policy as a means of fostering a more inclusive, equitable, and progressive society.
They believe this initiative will benefit not only the education system but also the nation as a whole.
The group emphasized, "Together, let us nurture an education system that leaves no child behind and builds a brighter future for all." They urged the government to continue engaging with teacher unions, prioritize the recruitment and training of both new and existing teachers, and enhance the remuneration of qualified educators to ensure the provision of high-quality education.
The professors and academicians, representing institutions such as the University of Cape Coast (UCC), the University for Development Studies (UDS), and the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA), strongly believe that the Free SHS program is a beacon of hope for millions of children and a catalyst for national transformation.
