Majority Chief Whip in Parliament, Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor, has reaffirmed the Mahama administration’s commitment to maintaining the Free Senior High School (Free SHS) policy introduced under the Akufo-Addo government. Speaking in an interview on Face to Face on Channel One TV with Umaru Sanda Amadu, the South Dayi clarified that the Free SHS policy would not be scrapped, and plans are underway to reintroduce the accompanying legislation in Parliament. “The Free SHS Bill is to be relayed, because they brought it, but it was caught up by a passage of time. So, that will be relayed. I have gone through, I don’t think there will be too many changes before it is brought back,” he said. When asked directly whether the Mahama-led government intends to cancel the Free SHS policy, Dafeamekpor responded firmly: “Not at all, why would you do that?” The Mahama administration has announced plans extend the Free Senior High School (FSHS) policy to cover private schools starting from the next academic year. This follows an announcement made by the Ministry of Education on Tuesday, May 27, during the launch of revised guidelines for the selection of schools for candidates preparing for the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE). Under the new guidelines, candidates can now select seven schools, up from the previous six, with the selection window running from May 27 to June 6.
