Have you checked the country's economic capabilities of carrying the financial burden of your policy? Reality versus promises.

GHANA'S RECYCLED CORTUPT USELESS PRESIDENTS NEVER MADE ANY MARKED IMPACT IN THE PAST. WHY DO WE KEEP BRINGING THEM BACK TO REPEAT THE VICIOUS CYCLE OF GHANA'S HOPELESSNESS?

WE KEEP RECYCLING THE SAME USELESS SHIT UNCIVILIZED LEADERS YET WE EXPECT TRANSFORMATIVE OUTCOMES? THIS DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.

MAHAMA, HARUNA IDDRISSU DZIFA GOMASHIE AND THE REST ARE ALL KNOWN RECYCLED SHIT, YET GHANAIANS EXPECT CHANGE FOR THE BETTER? WOW!

IT'S LIKE COOKING WITH ROTTEN MEAT YET YOU EXPECT A TASTY AND NUTRITIOUS MEAL? NATURE DOESN'T WORK LIKE THAT. YOU REAP WHAT YOU FUCKING SOW.

WHAT AT ALL IS WRONG WITH GHANAIANS. CAN'T WE THINK FOR ONCE?

BY EVEN AFRICA'S LOW STANDARDS OF LEADERSHIP, MAHAMA WAS NOT A GOOD LEADER, YET HERE IS MAHAMA AGAIN, YET WE EXPECT NATIONAL PROGRESS?

GHANAIANS ARE NOT CORRECT!

Dan Niama!!! You ain’t seen nothing yet!!! If NDC castigated the FSHS saying it was impossible to implement because it is too expensive, not necessary and that not all should benefit, how necessary is free tuition fees for all first years? Literacy up to SHS level is a necessity but university education a privilege. If we are grappling with FSHS policy and finding funds to make it sustainable and better, where will the funding come from to finance this 1st year tuition free fees for all policy? Easier said than done.

Offering free tuition not a bad idea however, considering the fact that the nation has limited resources and over burdened with debt it will be prudent to set criteria for who gets free tuition that aligns with national priorities.
1. Does the the government know/projected the total cost over time?
2. Shouldn't the government if not already known, identify areas, professions and industries that are absolutely essential for the national development agenda. This does not mean other areas, professions and industries are not important. It just means that there should prioritization because funding is limited.
3. Do policy makers know or projected the demand for engineers of all types, doctors, nurses, etc, for say, the next 5 years, 10 year? This should inform strategy.
Considering global and national trends, and forecasts, Information Technology, vocational and technical training are areas that should be prioritized and incentivized.
4. There should also be means testing. Should children of the well to do get free tuition in the face of limited funding?

That's a very futile idea. Looks good on paper but when you consider that 70% of university graduates fail to secure employment after one year it is worthless. Give the youth a chance, employment, access to finance, the skills and attitude to excel in life.
