NO DEBATE; NPP IMPLEMENTED FREE SHS-POLICY ANALYST

The implementor of the current vybrant policy, the Free Senior High School policy in Ghana has become a bone of contention between the two main political giants in the country, NPP and NDC.

The flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) who is also the Former President of the Republic,H.E. John Dramani Mahama is claiming ownership of the policy.

Addressing party supporters in the Northern part of the country, Mr. Mahama alleged that his party introduced the policy in 2012 dubbed Progressive Education starting with the numerous construction of classroom blocks across the country to make education available to all but time and tide wait for no man they were kicked out of power in 2016.

"We initiated the Free SHS and started the  construction of school buildings to accommodate every Ghanaian child at the school age into school", he insisted.

But in reaction to the former President's claim, the President of Ghana, His Excellency Nana Addo Dankwa Akuffo Addo was shocked about the statement of the former President and described it as the sharp U-Turn and transparent lies by the NDC and their flagbearer.

According to Nana Addo, Mr.Mahama never liked the implementation of the policy in his term in office as the President.

"His Excellency the former President Mr. Dramani Mahama said during the 2016 campaign to the election that, it will take Ghana 20 years before the Free SHS will be possible.

How on earth can he claim ownership of the policy now", the President quizzed.

For Independent clarification on the matter, Educationist and Policy Analyst, Mr. Kojo Addo was interviewed today on Omanbapa Morning Show on Silver FM.

He said though NDC made a move to initiate similar thing called the Progressive Education  during their era but ended up in limbo  because they lost the election in 2016.

But when we talk of the *Free Senior High School policy implementation, no one can take it away from Nana Addo Dankwa Akuffo Addo and the NPP.

" There is no doubt about that and no one can argue that it is not Nana Addo and NPP which introduced the Free SHS.

Nana Addo and NPP implemented it and I think the NDC is just doing politics because of the election", he concluded in an interview with the host of the show, Nana Kwabena Ampratwum.
