Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) running mate for the 2020 election says Akuffo-Addo’s free Senior High School full scale approah is problematic.
According to her, the NDC’s progressively free education policy was a stepping stone to operate it on a full scale.
“Our position on free SHS has been very clear. We started the progressively free [education]… We were doing progressively free because to operate it on a full scale at once was going to be highly problematic… We want them to come and learn, but they need the classroom, the laboratories and so on.
She said the NDC government’s view on waiving fees for students was to target students who actually needed support rather than granting every student including those who could have afforded it free education.
