The issue of whether parents shd pay for their wards in boarding house is a poverty induced problem.John Mahama shd tackle the unemployment and Low Salaries problems first b4 looking at the review of FSHS. 99% of parents who have their children in boarding Houses cannot pay for the fees that some opponents of the system are suggesting. How many can pay between GHC9 000 to GHC12 000 per term if the govt ask them to do so.To those arguing that parents shd be allow to pay they shd be aware that the govt will take away the Subsidy that it used to apply
When means it will not be that GHC3500 that they used to pay

Completely FREE DAY SHS is the way to go. If you decide to send your child to a boarding school outside your community, you should be ready to pay for the boarding component while enjoying everything else the day student enjoys for FREE. The E-blocks concept must be continued.

This is the way to go. The various day schools must be made free to attend. Everything from books to stationery must be free but once you opt for a boarding school, you must be prepared to pay for the cost of boarding facilities: Food, the Cost of Managing the buildings etc.

Feed and board must be paid. The only thing that needs to be free is tuition. There should be cost sharing for test books and instructional material. If any thing at all bases can take day students to school for free but not feeding and boarding.

At least Akuffo Addo had the wisdom to store some food for the entire nation to be used during expected starvation period while still feeding FSHS students in boarding house.Well Done to the Old Man.

Free Education should not be that free. The Government cannot afford. Let parents and guardians pay for breakfast and lunch while the Government takes care of a good Supper. Or let parents pay and provide for breakfast and supper and the Government provides for a very good lunch. The Government can just not afford all.

What makes you think that government can't afford to feed and accommodate our young children in school? How was government able to pay for the northern scholarship enjoyed exclusively by our brothers and sisters from the north, including Mahama himself? Isn't it a shame that Ghanaians are comfortable with a section of the population enjoying free education while a larger segment of the country is denied that opportunity? You want us to believe that apart from the north, there are no poor people in the rest of Ghana? Doesn't it hurt our collective conscience as a people that a good number of young population are unable to attend secondary school on account of the economic challenges of their parents? In any case is the public funds that politicians steal not more than the cost of FSHS?

No free food and no free board period.

If all boarding houses/ dormitories became classrooms, there will be no need to build new schools immediately

Nonsense, so why did you permit the food to be allocated to schools instead of giving tax free status to his Stooges

Do you know that in Ghana education is heavily subsidised and what is the purpose. The purpose is to have an enlightened society and give access to education to all. In return, government is able to gain cheap access to labour and cut costs since enlightened citizens help reduce crime and improvet in health. I tell you, cancellation of the FSHS in the southern partas it could destabilise the country since some will not understand why children from certain parts of the country should enjoy FSHS and others should not and if it becomes wholesale cancellation too it will affect the North because of the level of poverty there. So my brother, FSHS has come to stay and so let us learn how to manage it well.

I very much agree with you. As at now complete FSHS has come to stay for all Ghanaian students irrespective of which part of the country they come from. The days when only students from the Northern Ghana only enjoyed it is past and gone with the winds. For now, it is either all Ghanaian students pay for Boarding and lodging or no students pay. Mahama, do you hear me. You and Bawumia had rich parents who could afford to pay for your Boarding and Lodging at school because they were rich enough. Yet you paid nothing. My poor parents had to pay for my everything at school. Don’t think about going back to the Old times and think of not making students from the North pay for their High School Boarding and Lodging but Southern students have to pay. That will never work again.
Finally, CMB scholarship should not be for children of Cocoa farmers alone because we have various kinds of farmers who also contribute to the economy of Ghana. Scrap that CMB scholarships too.

Oh so the previous government stockpiled food for emergency, that's good news. They were not so wicked after all, as we been made to believe - that's wisdom!

FSHS is a very sensible policy meant to ensure that in the shortest possible time all Ghanaian children will have education, at least up to the high school level. To tell you the truth, though it's desirable you don't need a university education to succeed in life. But you need a minimum level of education up to at least the senior high school level to find your way around in this modern life. Government can and must pay for our children's high school education. No Ghanaian child must be out of secondary school on account of the parent's financial challenges.

@Kwaky, if you don't have the capacity to discern the difference between stored food and expired unwholesome food, who has the little mind? See, everybody is laughing at you.

Well done mr President
Please don’t put any money in the hands of headmaster bursars and storekeepers
Now they should be very careful as anyone caught stealing the food items should be beaten severely by the students
The students should open their eyes carefully and no private cars or taxis should be allowed near the stores of the institutions

Folks do you remember that in 2009 Kufuor left 6 months emergency fuel stocks. For 6 months Mills Mahama did not import any fuel until all the 6 months emergency stock had been depleted. Are we about to see a repeat?
