Since the free SHS policy begun, it has been marred with lots of challenges as some students are yet to be placed in schools, whiles heads of schools worry about delays in funding.<\/p>\n<p>The issue has murkier after some headmasters and headmistresses are said to be extorting monies from anxious parents seeking to enroll their children in the schools.<\/p>\n<p>This unfortunate development many predict could mar the flagship programme of the Akufo-Addo led administration.<\/p>\n<p>In support, Kwame Boffoe on Accra-based Neat FM Thursday said the free SHS policy wont have the needed impact if nothing is done to school heads found culpable.<\/p>\n<p>He indicated that the much touted free SHS policy will be called \u2018Free Paying SHS\u2019 if government sit aloof and watch for the situation to persist.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe government must not feel reluctant otherwise the Free education will never be free. It will soon become free paying education\u2026\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Abronye DC as he is popularly called disclosed that, some concerned parents of wards in some various Senior High Schools have forwarded documents of receipts to him indicating fees are being collected from them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cParents are sending receipts to me from schools such as Koforidua SHS, Odumaseman SHS, and even Tamale Islamic SHS. If you have such behaviour as a Head how will the policy prosper\u2026?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have forwarded it to the Chairman of the Ghana Education Council and they will soon be summoned.
