Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC), Yofi Grant has stated that the free senior high school policy implemented by President Akufo Addo will be the foundation upon which Ghana will transform.
Speaking on the Epa Hoa Daben’ show, he noted that for every country to develop, it’ll need people who can take sound and rational decisions not based on emotions.
“The free SHS policy is the foundational policy that will transform the nation. A lot of things will not be left to emotional thinking but rational thinking and that will change the country.
Before free SHS, every year, over a hundred thousand kids fall off education with no recourse to go back because they either could not pay for it or they just failed and did not have the money to rewrite or they just did not have the opportunity to reeducate”, he said.
He added, “I have always seen a certain worry on his [Nana Addo] face. And once I tried to enquire, ‘why do you always have this look?’ and then he says I am worried for my people. We need to create a better life for my people. We need to create solutions for all my people. And when you look at his history, his whole movement in his life has been for empowering people. From ‘Ku me Preko’ till today, he is known everywhere as an advocate for human rights. He wanted real transformation and development and he put it into leadership. Transformational, visionary leadership! And that is all he has provided throughout his political life. So when he came to power, he made a plan.
He brought about the free SHS to make sure the minimum education of the average Ghanaian is a high school education”, he noted.
