Lecturers for Improved Free SHS, a group of academics belonging to the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has pooh-poohed what it described as "misinformation, disinformation and outright lies", suggesting that a future NDC government would abolish the Free Senior High School policy.
The group insisted that the NDC, led by former President John Dramani Mahama, would instead improve the policy to benefit students, particularly those from poor backgrounds, to produce quality outcomes.
Professor George Kwaku Toku Oduro, Chairperson of the NDC Education Committee and Spokesperson on Education observed that the current implementation model had weakened the educational system and presented countless challenges.
Consequently, the quality of secondary school education had sunk low and needed a reset. "May I articulate clearly that review in our context means determining what has worked well, what has not worked well and putting in measures to improve and make the FSHS implementation better and quality oriented," he stated.
