A finance professor at Andrews University, William Preprah, has expressed concern over the current implementation of the Free Senior High School (SHS) policy in the country.
Speaking on JoyNews' PM Express, a financial expert said that the plan will face major problems because the government's operational system from the beginning isproblematic. "Making SHS completely free is where the problem comes in; free clothes,free books, giving food which I think causes disrespect," he told Ayisha Ibrahim host on WednesdayAs he believes the true purposebehind this approach, Prof. Preprah addressed the problemof inequality stemming from providing free clothing, booksand meals to all students, whether limited or outsourced.
Since its introduction, the freeSHS policy has expanded educational opportunities for Ghanaian students. However, Professor Preprah pointed out that providing free clothes, books and food couldinadvertently create conflictamong students. He stressedthat the system should strive for equality between day schoolsand schools, and between students and schools.
We can make a process that will reduce the cost in a way that will be beneficial to the day and to the government. It served in the way of equality for students and boarders because if you look at it, those in boarding school benefit more than those in day school. .
