A former Deputy Central Regional Minister, Aquinas Tawiah Quansah is still doubtful about the quality of teaching that will take place in second cycle institutions under free Senior High School policy introduced by the current government and has vowed not to allow his wards to be beneficiaries.
“I am not guaranteed of the quality of the teaching under the free SHS, so I will not allow my children to be part of it. One of them gained admission to Achimota but I have asked that he attends Akosombo International School where I am guaranteed of quality”, he disclosed on Agoo TV.
According to the former lawmaker for Mfantseman West, he would rather prefer where he can get value for money that enroll his wards in a wholesale policy whose quality remains questionable.
“When I know I am paying fees, I will demand accountability but when I am not it is difficult. I am actually not averse to the implementation but the mode in which it is being implemented is the problem. My ward passed, got admission at Achimota but I decided he should go to Akosombo International School”, he reiterated.
The New Patriotic Party (NPP) government early last week introduced the free SHS flagship programme which was one of its major campaign tools in the 2008, 2012 and 2016 campaign promises to Ghanaians.
Government indicates that about 400,000 students from Junior High Schools across the country are expected to benefit from the project which will cost $10 Million dollars out of which 25% has been paid into respective accounts of implementing schools.

I am not sure this ex MP is serious. This your analysis is fraud and dead on arrival. Those parent having issues with payment of admission fees for their wards have embrace this free SHS police. It means a lot to them and their children. I am pretty sure you did not think before making those utterances.I would have disown you if you were my father. This is a disgrace to your entire family.
am not suprise because he has stolen much money when he was in power as a minister. this is what we call witchcraft. he dont want the betterment of this country and must be sack.
This man just want to be heard. Aquinas, which of the Universities in Ghana or Abroad did you attend? None! What is your Sec Sch qualification? Nothing better! You cant construct simple English. Your submissions at radio stations are full of errors unless the discussion is done in Akan/Fanti. These are some of the bootlikers Atta Mills/Mahama brought into politics. You are damned lucky you married a decent and educated woman who take good care of your children. I strongly believe you contributed virtually nothing for the education and upbringing of your kids apart from paying of fees because you have no good morals to teach your kids. What kind of statement is that? What correlation has teaching got to do with free education? Are teachers not going to be paid? I dont get it! So this is the guy who represented the people of Mfantseman in parliament for eight years and worked as regional minister in a region full of educated, decent and hard working politicians. Aaaaabae! What went wrong? What strategic policies did this man put in place to develop Central Region which has been declared as one of the poor regions in Ghana? Even though I dont come from the region I really feel for the region. All these people contributed to the lose of NDC. I am sad.
Na who cares???????????????
Standards falling at Achimota School because of Free SHS? What a porous argument! This Ex-MP is sick in his mind.
The money u have go finish then u go see The free u will not get ,u will beg
Agya Akoa yi agymi papa. Who said that free shs equates to non payment of teachers. You see how sensless some NDC stalwarts are?
look mr minister am an NDC member too, but for this one you need to bow your head in shame. these are some of your ***barred word*** speeches and arrogance that took our party into opposition and instead of you to sit back and think of what better you have to offer ghanaians than what NANA has done ,you see yourself.hmmm god have mercy on you.you empty block headed man shame on all NDC members who will discredit this initiative infact hell fire burn you all,am henry from volta you want my identity.
A VOTE FOR NDC IS A VOTE TO CANCEL FREE SHS just like National Health Insurance. Ghanaians WISE UP
This man has ACADEMIC DEFICIENCY bcos of politics but Im assuring him he will have BROKEN HEART for there are many better things NPP and the incorruptible savior prez Nehemiah Addo Dankwah Akufo-Addo are going to do for this country that will send you aquinas quansah early to your grave if you don't stop the JEALOUSY. All ndc members can decide to get their children out from free SHS to pay fees with the CREATE LOOT AND SHARE MONEY and leave us alone.
