Akufo-Addo and Bawumia have become like medicine sellers of old times, regardless of which sickness you complain of, they always recommend the same drug; APC. Akufo-Addo and Bawumia are behaving similarly, whatever complaints you make about the economy; they refer you to free SHS. Everything nowadays is Free SHS as if Free SHS is a solution to all Ghana\u2019s problems. It\u2019s not even one-hundredth of Ghana\u2019s challenges. But they are using Free SHS as cover up for all their failures\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The free SHS was implemented in September this year with over 400,000 beneficiaries from various Junior High Schools in the country who for the first time attended school without paying fees.<\/p>\n<p>Government indicates it intends to continue the policy until all Senior High School students are enrolled into  public institutions without paying for the cost as it was seen in time past.<\/p>\n<p>But Alhaji Bature however  observed that the NPP government because the policy was a campaign promise, is doing all it can to make it realistic in the midst of the unending challenges coupled with inadequate dormitory accommodation.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018The unnecessary noise\u2019 about the only policy they have to a large extent, been able to pull through with since their coming into power; the Free SHS Policy  President Akufo-Addo and his Vice, Dr. Bawumia are capitalizing on the realization of their flagship policy to cover up their numerous flaws\u201d, he alleged .<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 32 updated by: 32 --><\/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>General News of Saturday, 9 December 2017 Source: mynewsgh.com 2017-12-09 Alhaji Bature Iddrisu, Managing Editor of the Al-Hajj Newspaper President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has been accused of over trumpeting the free Senior High School making it appear as though, it is the solution to the many problems the country is faced with.
