But how do you see Ghana's secondary education now? Our education system is collapsing. Come to my school, the students don't have chairs to sit on, no bed to put their mattress on, We can't force students to go to dining because if we do, the food brought can't sustain the students for a month, now students have to bring A4 sheet, official sheets, markers, detergent etc anytime they return from vacation because government doesn't does send money on time.

Ghana in a mess now. When you say it they will tell you are part of the opposition. So we can't be citizens!
Nana addo never went to secondary school 1 year ago

It still amazes me how this con man nana addo was able to deceive a nation of 33 million people even though he didn’t even complete a secondary school.

He has no idea how lack of funding in the late 70s and early 80s completely destroyed Ghana’s education system and he came in to reproduce the same mess.
Schools like mfantsipim, Wesley Girls are all rotting because of this illiterate of a president.

The data does not lie, Mahama is today claiming to have initiated the flagship of Nana Akufo-Addo and the NPP. Truth has a strange way of coming to the surface. We cannot lie our way to power.

It was a prophesy and it has come to pass.
Secondary education has collapsed based on the mode of implementation as predicted by the former President.

And now he claims he started it. Which is a palpable lie but because of politics, demented and brainless fools like you cannot speak truthfully. The problem of Ghana is people like you are allowed to vote at elections.

As for this, honesty calls for me to defend JM.
There was nothing wrong with that statement.
Progressive arrangement meant after the free primary school education, the next step was free SHS, inferring from the context of his statement.
It was not prudent to give free education to SHS students when the kids in primary school were paying fees.
All said and done, boot for boot, Jm has 1st century economic development plans, while Dr. Bawumia has 21st century ideas (virtual employment, etc.).

The 24-hour work schedule ( 24-hour economy) is a consequence of infrastructural development propped up by excess demand for, mostly, warehouse goods and services, and a workforce willing to work in the night (biologically, everyone is supposed to

sleep soundly from 8pm to 2am for the formation of their white blood cells (responsible for our immune system).
Dr. Bawumia provides a priceless opportunity for Ghana, a country flowing with milk and honey, to be what the good Lord intended her to be.
If the NDC could not raise the PEACEFUL "nkomfem", how can they raise dangerous animals like elephants, lions and tigers?

Ghana must not implement free SHS cos of the whimsical promise of a desperate politician...., are you now a desperate politician? Cows are trapped by their horns and men by their words. No amount of words of yours will convince us to change our mind on your attitude towards the implementation of the free SHS. Stay away from it. You will not protect or improve upon Akuffo Addo's legacy

Yes, l just become extremely annoyed when I hear free SHS. There's nothing free since you and l pay for it indirectly.

The policy has brought untold hardships to the ordinary Ghanaians. There are taxes on almost every commodity on the market.

Do you the number of Ghanaians who can pay their wards fees? Many foreigners are enjoying free SHS in Ghana.

I know several Nigerians who have benefited from free SHS.

The policy has indeed collapsed SHS

You were right because the current system is unsustainable. How many countries send their kids of school going age to boarding schools and feed them for free? Not even the developed countries.
