Former President has taken a swipe at members of the opposition (NPP) for insisting that he intended to cancel the Free Senior High School (SHS) programme after he promised to review it.
Speaking at the swearing-in ceremony of his ministerial and deputy ministerial appointees at the Jubilee House on Wednesday, March 12, 2025, President Mahama stated that his government's budget allocation for Free SHS proves, once and for all, that he has no intention of scrapping the policy. "We've also proven through the budget statement that review does not mean cancel.
Once and for all, for those who don't understand English, review does not mean cancel," he said.
The president emphasised that his government has allocated the largest amount of funding to the Free SHS programme since its inception in 2017.
