Dr. Mathew Opoku Prempeh <\/strong><\/p>\n

THE
\nMINISTRY of Education has rolled out the new Tertiary Education Policy (TEP)
\nwhich spells out what it calls \u2018the ultimate
\nstructure, planning, development,
\nregulation, operations and
\noverall governance and
\naccountability\u2019 of the tertiary education in the country.<\/p>\n

Minster of
\nEducation, Dr. Mathew Opoku Prempeh stated yesterday during the \u2018Meet the
\npress\u2019 series that the policy was formulated in view of the fact that \u201cthere was
\nno single point of reference document representing a coherent and holistic
\npolicy framework for the running of tertiary institutions in the country.\u201d<\/p>\n

He
\ndisclosed that in May 2018, Minister of State (Tertiary), in consultation with
\nthe National Council for Tertiary Education (NCTE), commissioned a team of experts
\nto prepare a reference document to deal with emerging trends in the governance
\nand effective running of tertiary education institutions.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe
\nbelieve that an educated, confident and skilled citizenry are crucial to every
\nnation\u2019s economic growth and development agenda,\u201d the minister said, adding \u201cthe
\nMinistry will continue to drive and implement interventions, programs and
\npolicies to meet the current needs that can better prepare us for the demands
\nof tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n

Free SHS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Touching
\non government\u2019s flagship programme, Free Senior High School (Free SHS), the
\nMinister reiterated that \u201cgovernment\u2019s commitment to
\nsecondary education remains that no qualified child is left behind,\u201d adding
\nthat \u201cthe programme is about ensuring equity, expansion of infrastructure,
\nquality of education, access and skills development.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said the
\ntotal number of students that will be benefiting from SHS after the 2019
\nadmissions would be about 1.2 million which he said is an increase of 400,000.<\/p>\n

By
\nSeptember 2019 the Free SHS would go full blown (students from form one to form
\nthree will be benefiting).<\/p>\n

\u201cThe total number of students in school, as we speak, is just about 800,000 and that\u2019s two years of free SHS. By the time we finish this year\u2019s admission, the population in our schools will be about 1.2 million,\u201d the minister emphasised.<\/p>\n
