Ofori-Atta's recent comment on free SHS

In other news, the finance minister disclosed that a review of the Free Senior High School (SHS) policy remains highly possible, but fell short of stating when that will happen.

Ken Ofori-Atta told Joy News on Thursday, July 29, 2022, that government is constantly scrutinising the policy to see how parents can voluntarily lessen the financial burden on state coffers.

“Review is constantly a possibility on the table. And it’s just to make sure that the appropriate education is given and that wastage is eliminated, and it goes to give us value for money,” the minister said.
