Flagbearer of the largest opposition party, the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, as part of his campaign message ahead of the December 2024 elections, affirmed that the government of the Ghana, of which he will be president, will give top priority to resolving the issues surrounding the implementation of the Free Senior High School (SHS) policy brought by the NPP government.
In a crunch meeting with the various Teacher unions comprising of the Ghana National Association of Graduate Teachers (NAGRAT), Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT), and the Coalition of Concerned Teachers Ghana(CCTC Gh), the former President maintained that, the free SHS policy ought to be reviewed amidst its numerous challenges and implantation hiccups.
His standpoint comes in response to the increasing apprehensions regarding the execution and funding of the policy.
According to John Mahama, there is a need to have a stakeholder engagement with the implementation of the free Senior High School educational policy programme, adding that in his tenure, he would hold a stakeholder forum on education in his first 100 days to solicit inputs on how to improve and deliver quality education.
He said, “within the first 100 days of me becoming president, we will hold a stakeholder dialogue on education. It will have as part of its focus the implementational bottlenecks of the Free SHS, but it is also going to deal with how we can improve financing and teaching and learning at the basic school level and so at that stakeholder’s engagement, NAGRAT, GNAT, parents, students, educational experts, everybody is going to be there and we are going to have a discussion on access, on equity, on affordability, and on financing our educational system.”

they promised to review four years SHS education and they ended up cancelling it. we know them
Nobody is pay attention you Mr drunkard John Mahama. You are a loser. You will not win mark it down. NDC will not allow you come back 2028. Ghanaians we don’t need you.
Continously we allow this man to use review without any flesh to it. The media is silent and not asking any question about how John Mahama seek to review and just allowing him to use review without any basis.
What wrong with you Sir JDM
For this man to want a comeback, Ghanaians are not wise and really have a short memory
...and that will be the beginning of the end of the policy as we know it. I'm not surprised the NDC is completely focused on unraveling this policy. What surprises me is they would want to get working on deconstructing the gains within the 100 days! The greatest mistake this country could ever make is to bring back Mahama!
just tell us you will cancel it. period
Funny John Maham nobody is playing attention on you. Mr loser.
