Ghanaians, be careful with the NDC. They don't mean well for the FSHS. Any southerner who will vote for Mahama is a big fool.

JDM and all his siblings enjoyed 7year FSHS instituted by Nkrumah and he seems bitter about the 3yr FSHS by Akuffo Addo as if the money is from his pocket. The annual GHc2.7billion for Free SHS is not the cause of Ghana's economic problems . Wasteful management and corruption is.

This doesn't make sense. It's not true to say that parents need a review of freeSHS to support. Noone prevents PTAs from doing voluntary philanthropic projects. Have you donated food items to your child's SHS and they refused to take it? The only problem NDC has is because freeSHS isn't their policy. They did same when president Kuffour wanted to bring NHIS. They later promised when they win they will make it on term premium which they couldn't even attempt doing. When crude oil was discovered under president Kuffour, NDC said it was "April fool" discovery. They never believe in transformation but tokenism. NDC wants the people ignorant and needy so that they can always go and buy their votes cheap because they can't compete in terms of policy when the people become enlightened.

No self respecting person in Ghana would expect the education of his or her children to be Free. The unfortunate few who are incapable of doing that should be helped out and advised accordingly to avoid having more children than they are capable of looking after properly. This whole Business Of this FREE SHS by the NPP government was not properly planned and was just used for political purposes. Just for Votes. We can see the problems involved.

Simply pay your tax and urge your party Ndc, members to do the same. You complain about every tax including e levy. Where and how would a government source funds to pay for education, health and other social needs of the under privileged who your party claim to like so much. Your intentions are not honest. Stop fooling the .....of society. I Hope they will learn one day and look back to realise how much they had been fooled.

Look at this pig and local champion. You enjoyed free education since independence. Mahama enjoyed free education. Ndc problem with free shs is that other parts of Ghana hv also become beneficiaries thereby broaden their horizon to see through ndc campaign of lies, massive corruption and more importantly mahama's lack of leadership skills. No matter how they rave and rant shs has come to stay perpetually.

I know that my name can even tell where I’m I belong to the NDC but This is bad No Parents must pay for his chid school fees No big No. because everyone pays taxes every where in the development world children receive Social from the government the government gives the children money we in Ghana should begin to look for funding of the program the NDC started in 2015. But to say some parents must pay is not good policy ask yourself how much At all is putting into the free shs policy check from 2016 and now how much is spent on the policy and how much did the country Ghana got in revenue from oil loans and other sources and compare to how much was spend for government Offices how much did the Office of the president from 2016 till date received and compare to the free shs. Please we must cut government expenditures for other important government policy # Say No to paying of Shs if you want pay your child school fees please go and get your child a private school

If the NDC continue to play politics with FSHS they will loose the 2024 elections with regret. They have the intention to cancel it period. If your policy is to have some pay and others not to pay it's no more FSHS but a scholarship scheme. Who then is to determine who should pay and who should receive scholarship. Experience of scholarship management has shown that in the end it's the same rich people who end up getting them to the detriment of the poor. In the end we will come back to square one. Many honest public and private officials cannot be considered poor but most can't afford fees for their children. In the end they discriminate among which of their children should go and which not go to school especially against the girl child. Be very careful NDC

Charity begins at home. To show that you are serious, all you northern guys in politics, public service, academia, business, transport haulage, etc. should set up educational funds not only for your children but nieces and nephews in order to relieve the government of the huge burden Ghana has borne since independence in providing free education in the north. You spend all your wealth marrying more women; and going on pilgrimage to Mecca which costs not less than GH 75,000.00.
