Minister-Designate for Education, Haruna Iddrisu, clarified that President Mahama has no intention of cancelling the Free SHS policy.
Instead, the government plans to review and enhance the policy to ensure its sustainability and effectiveness.
“Let me assure this committee that President John Dramani Mahama has no option to cancel Free SHS. Therefore, those who listen to him, even in the cause of his campaign, he has stated that he will expand Free SHS,”
“It was to tell Ghanaians that as President of the Republic, he wants to give 2 million to Article 25 of the 1992 Constitution and Article 38, which spells out the objective of our educational policy. Chair, the important thing is that he will subject the Free SHS to a review,” Haruna Iddrisu said during his vetting by the Appointments Committee of Parliament.
