President-elect John Dramani Mahama has assured Ghanaians that the Free Senior High School (Free SHS) policy will be sustained and enhanced under his administration.

Speaking in an interview with the Voice of America (VOA), Mahama described the policy as a crucial component of the nation's education system, affirming that it is "here to stay" and "not going anywhere." Refuting allegations from the New Patriotic Party (NPP) that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) intends to abolish the Free SHS programme, Mahama clarified that his government is committed to its continuity and long-term success. "Nobody is going to scrap Free SHS.

What was said was political talk and gimmickry.

We are going to maintain it.
