AN INTRODUCTORY PARAGRAPH ON FREE
SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

Education is the pivot of every country. The success of a

nation abides in the great and knowledgeable minds of the
citizenry. Successive governments over the years sponsor
some selected citizens abroad to bring their knowledge in
their area of study to bear in the service of the nation.
Without education, the nation would be overdependent on
foreign intellectuals. Education is seen as a right but not a
privilege. It is of these view that every government take
keen interest in the education of its citizenry. It was therefore
not surprise when the nation Ghana was thrown into elation
On the 12th of September 2017, when H.E. Nana Addo
Dankwa Akuffo Addo
launched the free Senior High School education policy at
the West African Senior High School. Some see it as a
drain of Ghana’s purse. Nonetheless its benefits far
outweighs its major drawbacks. Many parents will attest to
the fact that it is a relief from their financial burden, a
hope to the hopeless and an equal opportunity for both
the rich and poor.
The free SHS educational policy also comes with its
disadvantages, as the influx of students coupled with
fewer classroom blocks and boarding and hostel facilities
leaves much to be desired. Parents have had to rent
apartments for their wards without proper monitoring and
supervision from authorities of various schools. These has
brought about the inception of the double track system
currently in progress.
