Education Minister calls for urgent focus on basic education as infrastructure gaps persist

Mr Iddrisu described it as an irony that the country was discussing free secondary education while the objective of achieving free compulsory universal basic education had not yet been fully realised.“But the irony, they are talking about free secondary education when you haven't achieved free compulsory universal basic education,” he said.” The Minister said the scale of the infrastructure deficit showed that Ghana still had significant work to do in achieving the constitutional goal of universal basic education.
