The Free Senior High School (FSHS) program will be steadfastly pursued by the administration, according to Vice President Mahamudu Bawumia, in order to advance and catch up with other developed economies.
Despite requests for a reassessment of its most important educational policy, this continues. He stated that this will be accomplished despite the nation’s ongoing economic difficulties.
The FSHS policy has benefited roughly 1.6 million students since it was first implemented.
The approach has, however, come under more public scrutiny recently as a result of allegations of food shortages and a decline in the standard of instruction.
This notwithstanding, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia speaking at the centenary launch of Accra High School said, the policy is the catalyst required to accelerate the agenda of industrial revolution.
“Government is undaunted, and will continue to work hard to fulfill this promise to the people of Ghana. We cannot really afford to disappoint the youth and the future leaders of our country. So far, so good †Dr. Bawumia said.
He also used the platform to rally the general population to support government to sustain the delivery of the policy even in the face of the current economic challenges.
Dr. Bawumia also took time to tout some projects and policies that the administration has successfully carried out and the ones that are yet to be rolled out to make life better for the Ghanaian people.
Accra High School was founded by the late Rev. James Thomas Roberts on 17 August 1923. The School will therefore turn 100 years next year.
