‘Free SHS has come to stay, I’m only against its poor implementation’ – John Mahama

John Mahama says he will not cancel the Free Senior High School (Free SHS) policy if he is voted President in the December polls.
According to him, he is not against the policy but just does not support its poor implementation.

In a Twitter post, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer said anyone that says he intends to cancel the Free SHS policy is a “bloody liar”.

The Free SHS policy was the flagship campaign message of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) during the 2016 elections.
The policy was successfully rolled out in September 2017, with hundreds of thousands of students benefiting.
