The Free SHS policy, introduced by President Akufo-Addo in 2017, aimed to remove financial barriers to secondary education for all Ghanaian students.

It has been widely credited with increasing enrollment rates and providing many families with much-needed financial respite.

However, there have been various calls for the policy to be reviewed and improved to make it better for all students.

Despite rolling out the policy and providing Ghanaians with an opportunity to let their wards have an education at no cost, the NPP government was voted out of office by Ghanaians.

Regardless, the young man formerly of PRESEC believes that the Akufo-Addo administration did very well.

The former Presec Legon student also shared how his brother benefited from job opportunities created during Akufo-Addo's administration.
