Minority leader and Member of Parliament for Tamale South, Haruna Iddrisu said they are not against the free Senior High School (SHS) policy introduced by the ruling government, but all they are asking is broader consultation.
In an interview with Ghanamps.com, he noted that “We will not call for complete scrap of the SHS there should be national consultation to build a conscious on this issue, how do we finance SHS and sustain it”.
He further added that, there are well respected expects in the educational sector who should be consulted to ensure that the policy becomes a sustainable one.
According to him, the introduction of the free SHS policy will rather go to weaken secondary education and make students poorer.
The Tamale South lawmaker said the introduction of the free SHS can best be described as scholarship for first year students and further indicated, the Minority will be vindicated with time on issues they have raised with the free SHS.
As for senior high school (SHS) we have an interest and we think the President must walk cautiously, he said.
