We were in this country during the 2012 General Elections, Nana Akuffo Addo, the most visionary politician in our country, told the people of this country, every country's progress is based on continuity of a previous administration, therefore since Dr. Nkrumah made education Free in the Northern Ghana, a time has come that
the rest of this country who has not
enjoyed such a facility be given such
a facility, therefore if Ghanaian People grants him a political mandate
and vote for him he will bring in free SHS to every Ghanaian in this country.
Fellow Ghanaian People, what did we hear from Nkonfem President Mahama?
At Dodowa political rally said to the people of this country, I will quote
"OKWATEREKWA SE OBEMA WO NTOMA A TIE NE DIN" such a facility can never be
possible in this country and and went on to say that everything free is no
good, therefore Ghanaian People should
cast such a facility out of their mind
that if one want something better one should pay for it. Nananom, Fellow Ghanaian People, we are today dedmanding from deceit and a liar Dramani Mahama that, has he and his Bui Dam thief Asiedu-Nketia and his NDC now eradicated "OKWATERE KWA" from
our country and when did he (Mahama)
eradicated "OKWATERE KWA" from our
country to make it possible to bring
in what our visionary Politician
suggested?
Fellow country, we all have to gtell Mahama that he has no vision than Nana
Akuffo Addo and his NPP politicians
so he should fuck off with his deceitful, lies, corrupt and stupid
economical strategy which has today made Ghana's cedi a hopeless money.
No one should reason with Mahama he is
a crook a deceitful and total dishonest person in our country, it
is only Nana Akuffo Addo who will come
and save this nation from Mahama's
economical chaos. Mahama and his NDC
are coming to corrupt the good intention of Nana Akuffo Addo and his dynamic NPP politicians vision and better ideas for this nation.

Politicized everything in Ghana!If the two Associations had anything to add, they should have come out with proposals to promote free SHS education. Their remarks on the President's announcement on this issue tells a lot about their intentions! Office holders of associations such as NAGRAT & GNAT ought to have attained a certain level of education which enables critical thinking. I hope what we have read here is a misrepresentation of their true positions on free SHS. Otherwise Ghana is in deep trouble! Politicizing every national issue to this extent is unfortunate.

Ghanaians should be very wary of this NDC leadership that,due to political expediency, is promising them free stuff.
For starters,I'm dismayed how my fellow countrymen and women would even vote for a leader in this day and age who proclaims to be a Socialist.That statement should have been a deal breaker outright.Even the Chinese and their cousins,the Russians are not proclaiming top be Socialists anymore.They might not say it at the roof tops of world fora but they are practicing free market policies than the Americans these days and it's working for them whilst the U.S.is pilling up crippling debts.
Our leaders should look at Europe and what social democracy policies over the years have done to their nations and LEARN QUICKLY.
Nurturing dependency mentality in Ghana under the guise of helping the poor is going to create a whole new brand of citizenry that would substitute hard work and self-reliance for dependency on government pittance.
In the mean the elites would have reason to milk millions,if not billions,from our newly found oil wealth all in the name of introducing "politically correct" programs like YES and free SHS educations.
MAHAMA,HIS BROTHERS AND THOSE IN POWER ARE LAYING THE GROUNDWORK TO TAKE ALL OF US TO THE CLEANERS BY THE INTRODUCTION OF THESE FREE FREE SOCIAL PROGRAMS SO WE WOULD KEEP THEM IN POWER FOR EIGHT YEARS.
PEOPLE,PLEASE BE WELL ADVISED.LIKE THEY SAY:THERE AIN'T NO FREE LUNCH.I REST MY CASE!!!

Were you not in Ghana when IDIOT NDC MEN said that free education could not be possible? Even the education minister stated briefly that before this can be effective it would take Ghana another twenty years. Besides the idiot president your opepeni that you regard him more than me also said quality education. But my question to you stupid fool is that what measures has Mahama implemented that he has promised to bring free education to Ghanaians? This tells me as a sensible and right person that Mahama still want to retain in power 2016 but that will never ever happened in the sense that he is a failure and he will continue to fail this thy kingdom comes. Mahama is a fool simply because he wanted to be the president of Ghana so he used every resources in Ghana to bribe electoral commissioner Kwadwo Afari Gyan and also the supreme court Judges alongside so called men of God and kings as well. And now look at the Ghana's economy? Everyday idiot like you blame NPP 24 hours. Are you not evil to the country Ghana? Wose ne woni kwasea se wate? Come again and l am waiting for you. Okay?

The fear of teachers is that most of them sell pamphlets. Some schools aslo charge for extra classes. This fee goes to the teachers, not the school.The concern of the teachers is not about quality eductaion but a case of each man for himself.
But I do not think they need to fear. Even in the private schools where educational standard is high, parents engage teachers for extra tuition. if free secondary education will lower standards, then the teachers rather need to embrace it because more parents will pay for extra private tuition/

It is sad and terrible that all these selfish mentality oriented people could be allowed to dictate foolishness of saw dust minds to a government in power over what to.
In our trial of democracy it is somehow a person's right to say his/her mind but it is too much a pity for Ghana to give sensitive positions to people who can not handle it with a good credibilty. They always make comments full of stupidity and out of context due to their selfishness and tribal hatred.
Foolish for nothing degree holders of the NAGRAT AND GNAT Executives ought to leave Ghana with peace, and stop their selfish tribal and political stupidity and bigotry utterances, which do much harm to Ghana than good.
It is not naturally compulsory to comment when one does not have a word of wisdom to offer, since doing that will always expose one to stupidity. These officials of the above named organisation should understand there are many rational educated ones there in Ghana who have Ghana right on their hearts and are aware of the realities of education than they could visualise with the posiotions they hold at poresent.
It is our Ghana, therefore it sounds foolishness for us to sit down, then you small boys with degrees but have no experience of what free education had offered to many citizens of the world to dictate to us over this great opportunity of FREE SHS God had used Mahama, our loving president at present to open to us once again since Dr Nkrumah's era.
All we need as Ghanaians is to encourage the step taken by the government to support parents with the free SHS policy on test on day students and eventually covers all sectors.
Stop your village onesided greedy and selfish display of YOU DONT WANT OTHERS TO BE LIKE YOU. You are fools indeed, since your comments of foolishness changes nothing.
Do not allow your alignment with the NPP expose you to public laughter as your comments have in reality present you very very cheap in the eyes of the responsible ones in mother Ghana.

Free education will not lower standards. What lowers standards and moral is a child who is brilliant but cannot continue their education because his/her parents can't afford. Private schools will always be better in academic performance level than public. It is not only in Ghana but everywhere. You get what you pay for. If A takes a taxi and B takes a public transport from point C to D, then don't expect them to get there at the same time. However, it does not mean the one who gets there first has more advantages so far as they all have goals to achieve and works towards it. I had public education through my mother's hard work and have worked hard to get to where I am. I know two of my friends who were intelligent when we were young. Their parents spent thousands in private schools and all they did was hop from school A to school B to C without achieving much with the parents investment. What is wrong with you, NAGRAT/GNAT leaders? Get grips with realities of life.

I think your analysis is very low-levelled. Maybe you do not live in Ghana but that should also not deprive you from being able to understand what NAGRAT/GNAT means. In summary, at the current state of public schools, quality is very low..simply put! Some classrooms still do not have chairs or desks, some blocks have cracks that you yourself can pass through. Teachers in rural areas are poorly cared for, some schools do not have all textbooks, etc. When schools ask parents to pay for anything at all, the response is that, the school is extorting since Govt. says everything is free. Do you know what is termed as free education? In Gh, free education means free tuition. Apart from that, there is no money for sporting activities, no money for excursions, no money for any other thing. Don't these lower levels of education? This is just the same as the NHIS. It just lowered health delivery because, Govt. failed to pay for all bills. Affected hospitals then refused to care for those on NHIS cards. Is that improvement in health delivery or lowering of health delivery? Think again!

What Ghanaians love to hear is FREE and they forget about everything. If you study present SHS school fees, you will find out that day students pay close to nothing. That is the charge for tuition. This, according to Mahama will be free. So day students will not pay any tuition fee. Bear in mind that Govt will not take pout the PTA fees etc so there will be a fee BUT NOT TUITION. Nothing comes entirely free, my dears. Even death which no one buys does not come entirely free. It comes at a cost and that cost is pain and sorrow.

“We are in favour of free SHS, but we are not happy with the way it is going to be done,”.
How is it going to done that is different from your approach?
You failed to spell that out.
“If you look at it carefully because education is free at the basic level, standards have gone so low compared to the private schools,”.
But you did not say that when your party proposed it. It was all good till Mahama embraced it, then it became a bad idea.
"Mr Addai Opoku feared government’s announcement will stop parents from making the necessary investments in their wards’ education.
“A parent that sends his child to public school knows that capitation grant is paid. Therefore, there is no need to pay money for books or for anything. Everything is free.”
Why do you think that?
Did your parents think that? Did they shirk their supplies purchase responsibility when you were getting free education?
Did you tell Akufo-Addo that when he proposed the same thing?
"For GNAT, last Tuesday’s promise, among many others by politicians, is only to score political points".
“It is just something to catch votes,”.
What votes in 2014?
Did you tell Akufo-Addo that in 2012?
Should already elected people or even campaigning politicians stop making sensible promises just because of fear that they would be accused of pandering?
You people do not make any sense.
Allow him the chance, then start judging him when implementation is in progress.
Republicans propose things, Obama embraces them, then, suddenly they, the proposers, turn against him because those are "bad" ideas.

I the student has more brains or motive than the teacher.. then except by online work nothing will improve.. probably 75-80% of schools in usa are free high school (paid by tax dollars)...the rest are private schools...and since some of those are church schools they may spend too much time on religion and not enough on school to produce good results...Pay the teachers good and regular, maintain the schools. And test the Teachers and make sure they are smarter than the kids! Make sure they come to work 5 days per week for 180 days or more (some usa state requirement for min. attendance)

I appreciate the initial part of your comment but why do you object to free SHS? I know of some brilliant JHS students who, for lack of funds, could not continue their education, so I think the free SHS idea is a good thing. I strongly suspect that NAGRAT and GNAT are opposing the idea because they think that President Mahama is preempting their campaign message for the 2016 elections. If H.E. Mahama starts a free SHS education, what message is Nana Akuffo Addo going to use as his campaign slogan? This is where their fear lies.
Ghanaians should notice the difference between the two proposals: one is saying he will do it gradually or systematically while the other is saying he is going to do it all at once. When the latter was asked how he was going to finance it he was found fumbling. It is a national policy, so let us all embrace it.

Look at how our brothers and sisters in the North have now become very good intellectuals and enterpreneurs because of free education in that area.My only problmem with it is that it should not be a wholesale free shs.That means govt must put in place administrative structures and conditions to help only the poor families,based on their annual income.We need prudent measures to make it sustainable,that is to say families with high salaries or good financial backgrounds should be exempted.That is what Kwame Nkrumah did in the 60's because the North was very poor at that time and needed State intervention.Today,our economic situation is not very bouyant to make a wholesale free shs.At least,families must present their tax clearance certificates to the school administration for them to determine who qualifies.This also brings to mind govt's obligation to make annual revenue declaration compulsory,or we reintroduce Basic Rates for every adult in the country.Ofcourse,it's a political game but you cannot blame the president to fight for his survival.Thank you.

This is absolute nonsense. These fools are advocating for private schooling which handles a small percentage of students in Ghana. The standards are low because teachers have been doing a terrible job. Most of these teachers don't love their jobs anyways. Some only chose this path because they could not fulfil their goals and careers of their dreams. If is it an issue of parents paying for books and materials, it is the job of GNAT and NAGRAT to educate the parents so parents will understand what their responsibilities in the midst of capitation. I can assure GNAT and NAGRAT that private schooling has not done much to improve Ghana.

To begin with,all the best SHS in the country are public schools.No private SHS is better than Achimota,Mfanstipim,Prempeh etc.Prez Mahama is not talking about basic schools and if you are happy about the free shs you must help govt to put better administrative structures in place.As for me,I think the policy should favour only the poor families without any revenue or a scanty one.There should be no wholesale free shs for rich families because our present shaky economic situation.Thank you.

Because of our poor maintenance culture some secondary schools are in a deplorable state. No student applies to some secondary schools while the secondary schools known for their academic achievements are overburdened with applications. The computer placement was supposed to solve this. The government must improve the state of infrastructure in schools and ensure that well paid teachers are available. WAEC must ensure that exams conducted are fair and free of leakages. We must not forget that a strong economy is necessary for a good educational system and a good educational system is needed for a strong economy. Our basic and secondary schools must inculcate a strong sense of patriotism and nationalism in our youth.

Mr. Addai Opoku and Mr. Baafi are nations wrekers, how can free education lower the quality of education? Were they not in ghana when Dr.Kwame Nkrumah introduced free education fron class 1 to the university level? They should go to Uganda, university is free. So they want to tell ghanaians that the free education Dr.Nkrumah introduced was low standard? I see their comments as a political language to deceive ghanaians that it is imposible for to introduce free education. My next question is why Mr. Addai Opoku and Mr. Baafi did not tell the three times(supreme court, latest) loser flag bearer of NPP ( Nana Akuffo Addo) that his free education message will lower the standard of our educational systems? The only problem the government face is that her own ministers and co will steal the money intended for this good idea. If the government will put good measures in place such as death panelty, heavy sentences, frozen of accounts of the politicians when they found guilty of any form corruptions, this will serve as a deterent to others.FREE EDUCATION IS GOOD, LET US NOT POLITICISED OUR EDUCATION.

Providing free SHS education for all ghanaians is a good policy that's easier said than done.
Money does not grow on trees and this cash strapped administration must come clean and tell ghanaians how they plan to fund it .
The idea was first mooted during the campaign of the disputed general elections of 2012 by Nana Akuffo Addo. This Administration was quick to point out its unsustainability and flaws. If they're doing a 180 today then the public deserves to know the reasons behind the sudden change of mind. The administration cannot pay the salaries of teachers, doctors, etc, so for now this seems to be a mere campaign gimmick. Ghana today is hell on earth and it appears they're just saying something to feel the void in economic activity and prosperity and in times like these anything goes.

SK, right questions must be asked just as you have began. What is low level of education and what standardise assessment criteria are used? Can we just say educational level is low just because its free? What particular research have proven this suggestion? Are our teachers level of education which must also be low had major impact because here in UK one cannot teach even nursery level without first degree which is basic requisite for teaching? Also, I do not think is free because government is paying for it with taxpayers money. I deem it very much insane and lack of leadership for organisations like NAGRAT and GNAT to make absurd comments like these, other than proposing to government workable ideas to make dreams of poor children a reality they shamefully have betrayed their ignorance and backwardness to the world that they themselves do not worth to be teachers.
