Tamale Central MP, Inusah Fuseini has described as discriminatory government’s decision to exclude private schools from the free senior high school program.
Speaking on Rainbow Radio he said, “the NPP led by President Nana Addo told Ghanaians that no matter their economic status, their children will benefit from free SHS because the justification the NPP gave was that every Ghanaian pay tax and so every Ghanaian must benefit.”
“The MP per the logic of the government. It doesn’t matter where the person is studying, they have to benefit from free SHS. If the person is Ghanaian, he or she must benefit. It is discrimination of the highest order to say that a Ghanaian child in a private school does not deserve free SHS. President Akufo-Addo declared free SHS for Ghanaians and not schools and so, if a Ghanaian child is in a private school, he must benefit.”
“That is why the NDC will extend the free SHS to every school no matter their school,” he added.
