It would improve quality of education, address equity issues associated with education in the country and, importantly, ensure that every child acquires employable skills by the time they leave school.<\/p>\n<p>The Free SHS Policy will also cover pupils who gain admission to technical, vocational and agricultural institutions.<\/p>\n<p>An elated Agya Koo on Accra-based Oman FM shortly after the launch Tuesday, applauded government for the wonderful initiative.<\/p>\n<p>He noted that, the cost of providing free secondary school education would be cheaper than the cost of the alternative of an uneducated and unskilled workforce that had the capacity to retard development.<\/p>\n<p>The Kumawood actor said President Akufo-Addo\u2019s resolve to ensure accessible, equitable, quality and life-changing education for every Ghanaian child must be commended by all.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe did not get this opportunity so parents whose wards are benefiting should take advantage of the free SHS\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 2 updated by: 2 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Entertainment of Wednesday, 13 September 2017 Source: adomonline.com 2017-09-13 Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, President of Ghana exchanging a handshake with Agya Koo &#13; Ghanaian comic actor, Alexander Kofi Adu, popularly known as Agya Koo is going back to school following the successful implementation of the free Senior High School (SHS) policy.
