Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia <\/strong><\/p>\n

The Free Senior High School (SHS) policy has recorded an increase in student enrollment of 69 percent.<\/p>\n

Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia made the disclosure in a statement at Abiriw in the Eastern Region during the Ohum Festival celebration.<\/p>\n

According to him, \u201cin the first three years of this policy, we have seen enrollment in Ghana for free SHS education increased by 69\u2105; that is a very high level of increase and many of these children if it had not been for free SHS would have been seated at home.\u201d<\/p>\n

He noted that \u201cthe free SHS policy is so critical for the future of this country because the key to the development of any nation is the education of its people.\u201d<\/p>\n

If you have an educated population the evidence shows from economic history that countries that have educated their people have risen up their development ladder and this is why Nana Akufo-Addo was very keen on the introduction of the free SHS education, he told the chiefs and people of Abiriw during the festival.<\/p>\n

Challenges<\/p>\n

He however underscored some challenges confronting the smooth implementation of the policy such as Infrastructure deficits.<\/p>\n

Due to the challenges, he said, Government has had to introduce the double track policy.<\/p>\n

He linked the rational behind the introduction of the double track policy to a crowded church two or more services have to be held on Sunday to enable every member receive the gospel.<\/p>\n

However, he said, the challenges were being addressed and that soon double track will be a history.<\/p>\n
