NANA ADDO'S FREE SHS, FANTASY OR REALITY
Author: PAUL Posted: 2012-09-24 03:19:33 If a man promises of bringing a cargo ship full of goods to Kumasi we cannot know whether or not he could do it but there are,obviously, basic questions we must ask him such as, "which port will the ship berth?" since we know that there are no seas nor harbours in Kumasi and ships don't travel in the air or on the road.
So it came to pass that during his encounter with the IEA Nana Akuffo Addo promised of making SHS education completely free if voted into power. Then he went on to state the cost involved which was 78 million Ghana Cedis for the 2013/2014 academic year.
However, after careful scrutiny of this promise one finds it flout with all kinds of inefficiencies. For example, the amount quoted is woefully inadequate to cater for the needs of the 728,000 SHS students currently in school. If you divide the 78 miilion Ghana Cedis by the 728,000 students the figure comes to a little over 100 Ghana Cedis per student per year. A further breakdown to three terms will give us a little over 36 Ghana Cedis for each student per term. Meanwhile we know that the barest minimum a boarding student pays for a term is 400 Ghana Cedis. So how will the difference of about 340 Ghana Cedis be paid for? Remember that this calculation did not even take into account the influx (increased enrollment) of students at the SHS that will result from this policy. Again, the additional cost of putting up more infrastructure to absorb increased numbers was also not factored in this estimate.
Nana Addo's source of funding is also unreliable. He mentioned GETFUND and Petroleum Revenue as his main sources of funding. Already we know that the GETFUND is overstretched for which reason sometimes contractors are not paid for work done.
For the Petroleum revenue we only generated something close to 500 million Ghana Cedis last year and this figure is not expected to change that much in the near future. Meanwhile, the constitution states clearly how it should be spent. In fact some percentage has to be reserved for posterity. But assuming we alter the constitution so that we can spend all of this amount on education it will still not be enough. Barring all other costs the 728,000 SHS students will,in fact, require 1.2 billion Ghana Cedis to cater for all their academic needs in a year. Unless he seeks to increase taxes, which he has stated categorically that he wouldn't, I don't see how he is going to implement such extravagant policy. This therefore, is what forms the basis of those who argue that the promise is not feasible, at least for now.
What Nana Addo seeks to do is to build a house without foundation which we all know will collapse.
Just like the man who promised bringing a cargo ship to Kumasi but couldn't tell which port it will berth so does Nana Addo fails to convince Ghanaians how the free SHS education policy would be funded. It is a mere political talk and we should likewise listen with mere political ears. It is a dream but not a reality.
For now what government must do is to increase access to SHS by putting up more infrastructure, supplying adequate teaching and learning materials, continue to motivate teachers and expand government scholarships to cover more needy students. Scholarship, as it was, shouldn't cover only needy but brilliant students but even average students who truly have the need but who have shown certain willingness to learn. History is full of several examples of students who were initially weak but who turned out to be extra-ordinarily brilliant academicians in their latter years. Mention could be made of Einstein, Thomas Edison, Ghana's Prof. Allotey (the only physicist from Africa) etc. Government must pump more money into scholarships to cater for all needy students. This way no child will be left out of our educational journey.
May God grant our leaders the wisdom to lead and implement policies that will benefit us. May they be filled with the spirit of honesty hard work and dedication to make our nation a better place to live, in Jesus name,amen.

The guy doesnt need any land to enrich himself. The whole Akatamanso Land belongs the father, Ghanaians should start appreciating good works from ppl and stop accusing tthem for no apparant reason
