    Ghana, Rise up!! Wake up!! In this situation in which we find ourselves today, it would even be unwise for Nana Addo/NPP to talk about free SHS if he is in power today. Two hundred SHS are not the nation's priority even thoug ...

    THE GOVERNMENT HAS LOST FOCUS. RUNNING THE AFFAIRS OF A COUNTRY DOES NOT MEAN ONE SHOULD BE THINKING OF WINNING ELECTIONS WITHIN THE SHORTEST POSSIBLE TIME. WE SHOULD THINK AHEAD OF HOW BEST TO DEVELOP THE COUNTRY.

    The ordinary politician like Mr Mahama always think about the next election but the great politician always think about the next generation: good and long term planning

  • KB,LONDON. 10 years ago

    Who said quality and free education(state sponsored) are mutually exclusive? Good and bad performing schools cut across private and public sectors. The difference is systems of monitoring and evaluation put in place by regula ...

    EVERYONE IS BRINGING OUT THEIR THOUGHTS BECAUSE A MORE CREDIBLE PERSON (THE PRESIDENT) SAYS HE IS GOING TO DO IT

    Yes, we cannot substitute quantity for quality as far as education is concerned.

    Of course, this free SHS idea is just a political propaganda, devoid of any serious intentions.

    I think Ghana's problem is just as simple as this, either a bunch of people who knows everything about their world but doing nothing or people who does everything in their world but knows nothing about what they are doing.

    It is like offering poison for free. That's NDC, concerned more about whether the SHS is 3 years rather than what is learned in those years. But that is what happens when revolutionaries design educational systems.

  • AFRICAAAAAA 10 years ago

    Very apt analysis Mr. Haffar. What good is free if its not quality?
    At least now the conversation taken on a more substance course.

    Hope the no-good president and his inept deputies are listening.

  • Nana HIGH 10 years ago

    Please Mr. Ants Haffer, could you tell us what in your view constitutes quality education ?
    What should we expect to see if we went to a classroom that practises quality education?

  • Free Education 10 years ago

    We have people even the U.S. who finish college and for a while don't have jobs. In other words, there is 3.5 graduate unemployment even in U.s. Most people in U.S. don't know what they want to do after college until they hap ...
