Child Rights International (CRI) has raised concerns over recent proposals for parents to provide food and accommodations for senior high school students in Ghana.

These calls come amidst logistical challenges in the implementation of the Free Senior High School (SHS) policy.

But CRI in a statement firmly opposed such measures, arguing they undermine the programme's purpose of removing financial barriers to education and promoting inclusivity.

The Free SHS policy, designed to ensure equitable access to secondary education, is a cornerstone of Ghana's educational system.
