We’ll allocate GHc1bn to free SHS in 2018 – Bawumia

Government’s much hyped free Senior High School programme will be boosted with a billion cedis budgetary allocation in 2018. This is to guarantee the policy’s sustainability as questioned by the Minority Leader in Parliament, Haruna Iddrisu.

Vice President, Dr. Alhaji Mahamudu Bawumia made the announcement at the Tamale Senior High School (Tamasco) where he addressed school heads and beneficiaries of the policy.
 
He emphasized that that government will sustain the free SHS policy at all cost. According to him, it was a well thought through policy implemented as government’s flagship program to boost the nation’s human resource base.
