Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama has affirmed his commitment to the Free Senior High School (SHS) policy and promised to improve it if he is re-elected as president in the upcoming elections.
Mahama, who served as the President of Ghana from 2012 to 2017, acknowledged the importance of the Free SHS policy in providing equal educational opportunities for all Ghanaians.
“The Free SHS policy has come to stay, and I am committed to improving it,” he said while addressing journalists in Accra on Sunday.
He once again debunked claims of being against the policy and insisted that he supports and only wants the policy improved to deal with present challenges.
On the Free SHS Bill yet to be laid before Parliament, Mr Mahama said he would support it if it sought to improve and sustain the policy.
