Borrowing to fund Free SHS sends wrong signal — Gideon Boako

These components are so germane to education in this country, and for that matter if Ghana was to finance access to secondary education, I least expected that we will resort to loan to do such financing.

Dr Boako made the remarks in Parliament while debating government financing for secondary education, urging the administration to place greater emphasis on mobilising domestic resources to sustain investments in education."He questioned the message being sent to young Ghanaians, saying, "If any Ghanaian young lady or young man is listening to us today and we are telling them that we do not prioritise education such that the revenues that we generate from this country are channelled into education but rather we are going to borrow to finance secondary education, that is very sad."
