Why bother yourself with theses NPP lowlifes. This policy will do away with that bullshit red, gold, green and overcrowding of classrooms. Meanwhile the de-capping of Getfund will allow to build more high schools to catch up with the growing numbers of students. Well done JDM.

Great idea but the amount involved is a little too much. Ghc 800 is more realistic.

How is this policy going to work! How many students in total is the government able to pay for?
How many private schools are going to benefit from this? Seriously l think some of these resources should rather be used to expand the existing government schools in term of classrooms, boarding facilities. How sustainable is this policy? We don't want it to be seen as another wishful campaign promise to waste the tax payers money.

This is why I say it is pure madness. No government anywhere in the world give free education to private schools when we have public schools begging students to enroll.

Hon Gyetua, GH₵1,500 per term is a politically appealing figure but not economically viable for private schools that want to maintain quality—especially if they serve middle-income or higher populations. Has this policy been well thought through?

As part of the piloting the president and his officials must commit to sending their wards to these private SHSs to convince others that indeed the free SHS policy can also work in these schools

You are under an IMF programme and you want to use scarce resources to fund private schools. It is doubtful the IMF will allow it no matter how skillfully they try to get their way.

The information provided in this article is not wholly accurate.
The Programme is scheduled to commence in the 2026/27 , that is , September 2026 and negotiations are currently underway.

Piloting of the programme is what is being discussed and that would only involve a few schools for the 2025/26 sch. yr.

I suggest this site consults the CHOPSS PRO, Kwaku Kyei Baffour (024 418 6705) for more credible and accurate information.
