Free SHS ought to be designated, it ought not be wide open - Prof. Aryeetey
Previous Vice-Chancellor of the University of Ghana, Prof. Ernest Aryeetey, has added his voice to calls made by some Ghanaians that Senior High School (SHS) training ought not be free for everybody.
Prof Aryeetey demonstrated that Free SHS ought to be held for Ghanaian understudies whose guardians can't bear to pay their charges, citinewsroom.com reports.
As per him, the public authority focusing on the strategy's recipients would permit it to save a few finances that can be utilized to work on the amount of instruction in the country's public SHS'.
"I accept firmly that we want to target individuals, and the most fitting way is by implies testing. Implies testing by the public authority will decrease the expense of educational cost to the public authority, and the monies saved, directed to working on the offices and offering quality support. We need to observe approaches to seeking after what best works in our current circumstance. Rather than making SHSs free, for what reason don't we make some free and others payable.
"With that, guardians get to settle on a choice in view of their solidarity. Indeed, even with the schools that are not free, grant potential open doors could be made to permit individuals who are not monetarily solid to vie for them. Like that, we can drag everybody along, poor or rich," Prof Aryeetey is cited to have said at a Leadership Dialog Series by the Center of Social Justice.
A few partners, including Prof Stephen Adei, have required a survey of the Free SHS strategy to permit guardians who can stand to pay charges for their wards to assist with decreasing the weight on the public authority, which is presently confronting income preparation challenges.
In any case, the public authority is resolute about these calls and has demanded executing the arrangement regardless of the multitude of difficulties it is having supporting it.
