The Center for Performance Tracking and Outcome Mapping (CePTOM) has called for a national dialogue to review Ghana's Free Senior High School (FSHS) programme, emphasizing the need for sustainable education reforms to address key challenges.
The FSHS programme, which marks its eighth year, has benefited over 2.5 million students, with the first batch of beneficiaries now completing their tertiary education.
While the initiative has improved access to education, literacy rates, and gender parity, CePTOM noted that overcrowding, resource constraints, and the absence of a legislative framework pose significant challenges to its long-term success.
CePTOM has endorsed President 's proposal to convene a national consultative conference on education, which would: Assess the successes and shortcomings of the FSHS programme.
