THERE IS NO ERROR ANYWHERE. MAHAMA IS CHARGING YOU HIGH ELECTRICITY TARIFF. DO NOT ALLOW NDC TO FOOL YOU BY TALKING ABOUT SOFTWARE ERROR. MAHAMA IS JUST A FAILED PRESIDENT. IF ERROR HAS BEEN DETECTED, THEN BIG REFUND IS DUE TO ALL CONSUMERS. CAN MAHAMA PAY??? BLOODY NDC THIEVES! !!!!!!!! WHEN PROPHET BAWUMIA RAISED THE ISSUE ABOUT THE STUPID AMERI AND KARPOWER DEALS, FOOLISH NDC FOLLOWERS INSULTED HIM. NOW THE PROPHET BAWUMIA'S FEARS ARE NOW FULFILLED. SO GHANAIANS WANT TO TELL ME THEY CAN'T SAY TO MAHAMA AND HIS CORRUPT NDC, THAT, ENOUGH IS ENOUGH? ??????

I agree that education and making sure that the level of school leavers in Ghana is increased is important, but the elephant in the room is what will the cost be and how will this be funded and impact other more critical spending. The reason why (I believe) people struggle in Ghana is lack of opportunities (due to poor economic infrastructure) be this vocational, formal or even enterprise and not necessarily lack of education. A strong manufacturing, service and tech based economy can grant opportunities for those who are educated and those that aren’t. When people can work and earn a decent living then the issue of free education for their kids becomes less of a financial burden on them and on the state because you can have Ghanaians paying part or all their fees and government can supplement this if it chooses or put money (where it is needed more IMO) into school infrastructure (books, school buildings, integrated national IT databases).

Akuffo Ado needs to make sure that this issue doesn’t become an albatross around his neck. The poor economy infrastructure and the issues this causes (lack of jobs, crime, economic burden on the state, leakage of money, reduced investment, red tape, CORRUPTION in government – ports, airports etc, over population due to economic migration from other areas into Accra) has a bigger impact. If NPP can pay for free SHS AND also have credible plans for funding infrastructure (let alone dealing with the debt) then so be it....but not sure how this is possible. Ghana is broke.

k man.what a bogus comments,in western world basic school to SHS is free to allow the parents to save some money to either train their child to learn artisan or go to varsity.pls stop dancing around with fake ideas what's wrong if Ghana can channel the oil money to education and farming which would've impact direct to the ghanaians.....in 2012 elections when Nana Addo mension free education for all ghanaians from basic to shs and he was invited by bbc hard talk,i said to my friend who was with me at that time watching it together,i said to my friend that oyiwa british would never allow him to come to power be'cos it their interest to see ghana all the time with half bake bread so that we keep begging them for common things we can do for ourselves.imgine every ghanaian have free basic to shs education before learning a trade,artisan and do you know how ghana poverty would reduce.i know for sure one day the bottom would drop out.

What is bogus about my comment....you seem to not understand what I am saying. Were is the money coming from, has this been costed? The infrastructure in UK and Ghana is different so why compare. Ghana now is not Ghana at independence where there was money to be able to implement free education or do
you think Ghana has huge reserves of
money waiting for next government to use.

If there isn't the economic stability and infrastructure to support jobs then what jobs are these youth going to do or are you not seeing the numbers of youth currently unemployed in Ghana....those with all levels of education without jobs to go to.

school projects have been completed
under the Schools Under Trees programme. The remaining are due for completion in the medium term.
• A number of teahers bungalows,
education offices, sanitation blocks
and 203 out of 232 classroom
blocks have been completed.
• The school shift system, through
which pupils run shifts due to lack
of adequate classrooms, has now
been eliminated in many of our
communities. In Wa, Sunyani,
Tarkwa, Dansoman, Krachi
Nchumuru in the Volta Region and
many other areas, school children
can no longer skip school to play
truant in the name of the school
shift system.

If it's the best for Ghana, why did Akufo-addo not have President Kufuor implement the program when he under in President Kufuor's administration? It's one thing for Akufo-Addo to blurt out "free SHS education", but it's another to be able to articulate a genuine plan that will work for the benefit of the students, something that Akufo-Addo has failed to do.
