PROBLEM WITH FREE SHS IS PRACTICAL IMPLEMENTATION NOT LEGISLATION – Prof Adei

Educationist Professor, Stephen Adei has voiced concerns over the practical implementation of the government’s flagship Free SHS Programme, rather than its legislative backing.

The former GIMPA rector expressed confusion over the government’s decision to seek legislation now after seven years of practice.

Speaking on PM Express on Tuesday, he noted, “What they’ve done for the past several years has not been illegal; it’s been by government policy and is acceptable.”

His comment follows Education Minister Dr Yaw Adutwum’s announcement that the Free SHS Bill, 2024, will be presented to Cabinet for debate this week.

The proposed bill aims to give legal backing to free and compulsory senior high school (SHS) education, along with several other changes to the education system, including the restructuring of junior high school (JHS) and the cancellation of the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) as a prerequisite for SHS admission.
