Former Finance Minister Seth Terkper has raised concerns about the government's responsibility in bearing the full cost of the free senior high school (SHS) programme.
He suggested that Ghana should adopt a model similar to Europe and the United States, where free SHS is limited to day students.
Introduced by the Akufo-Addo administration in 2027, Ghana's free SHS programme has so far cost GHS 9.9 billion.
Terkper questioned how the incoming Mahama government plans to generate revenue to fund programmes like free SHS while also removing certain taxes as promised.
