What is the motivation behind Mahama and Nana's free SHS programmes. As for Mahama he wanted something to please Ghanaians in order to win elections at all cost. As for Nana, his vision is that no student should be denied access to SHS because of lack of money. This is what the NPP has been championing since, they believe, a lot of BECE holders are qualified but due to lack of money they have not been able to enroll in SHS. This is the problem the free SHS is intended to tackle and so if Nana has started with first year students it is in line with NPP manifesto. After all second and third year SHS students have had access to SHS because their parents could afford it, which is why they are already there. Those who were qualified but could not go to SHS, and are at home, still have opportunities to reapply to enjoy Nana's free SHS. Nana’s free SHS, unlike that of Mahama, is verifiable, transparent and predictable. For instance, one can easily assess the success of Nana’s Free SHS by going straight to any secondary school to count the number of students in SHS 1. On the contrary, that of Mahama is shrouded in secrecy and the implementation is done at the pleasure of Mahama and his wife.

FREE SHS TO COST $1.2 BILLION (¢4.8 BILLION) A YEAR – KOFI BENTIL
The Vice President of IMANI Ghana, Mr. Kofi Bentil has disclosed to GhOne TV that the free Senior High School Program will cost government 1.2 billion dollars a year,i.e 4.8 billion cedis for form one to form three.
This postulation according to him stems out of a number of extensive researches that IMANI Ghana has done on the free SHS program.
Although, he acknowledged that the free SHS program is doable, he also admitted that it will be an opportunity cost for Ghana.
“The free SHS is doable but it means that Ghana would have to cut down on a number of things to roll out this program. But the question is what do we cut? Government must cancel some social intervention programs like the LEAP, GYEEDA, MASLOC among others depending on its priority areas to facilitate the free SHS. We have to also cut down on corruption, tax evasions and deal with all leakages in the system to fund the free SHS,” Mr. Bentil explained.
Mr. Bentil recognized that Ghana has what it takes to get the free SHS program running but ruled out the use of the heritage fund and expressed excitement that the Finance Minister, Hon. Ken Ofori Atta has retreated on that consideration.
However, he recommended the free SHS program should be progressive as lumping up all the other components together for a full start could pose a challenge.
“I believe this program must be progressively free. For example, we can start with SHS 1 for the time being and graduate to the other levels but l don’t think it should cover boarding for now,” he added.
In his opinion, if government does not pull up a tight plan to sustain the program it might get stalled along the way.
Discussing the funding of the free SHS on ‘State of Affairs’ on GHOne TV, the Project Officer, Civil Society Platform on Oil and Gas, Mr. Chideze Ezekiel also indicated the use of the heritage fund for the fee SHS policy was unlawful and defeats the purpose for its establishment.
He also recommended citizen consultation or engagement on how the program will be funded so that the will of the people will not be subverted.
“After all, the president said in his inaugural speech that we should be citizens not spectators. So we need to open the source of funding for this program to a national debate for a consensus to be reached for all stakeholders to be happy,” Mr. Chideze argued.
He also advised government to graduate the free SHS program from one level to the other while giving serious consideration to access and quality.
Both guest on the show, lauded the free SHS policy and urge government not to follow due process to make the program sustainable.

It would be great if they advertised the criteria for selection for this award. This will motivate others to push for it.
Does academic excellence mean best aggregate from BECE?

Can you show us a single thing that Akufo Addo did within the 2 months he became president of Ghana that propelled these kids to the heights they've attained?

NDC has laboured, NPP shares the glory.

For historical reasons me think it would have been apt if the names of the students,gender, schools and regions were published. Congratulations to them all. I always admire brilliant students as somebody who who wilfully lacked it as a student and even as a school leaver as I perhaps abundantly display it here. The government should not giving money as part of the prizes to students though. Money could corrupt them to think whatever they do excellently they should expect money in return, a phenomenon that has corrupted our society. The money should be used to buy textbooks that the students would need in their SHS. I recall a Miss Schandorf, one time best student, saying she did not know how she was going to use the money when asked by a journalist. I shudder to think if she could have said same if books were given to her.
