LET THE PARENTS PAY FEES. I WANT TO PAY MY CHILDREN'S FEES.
the oil money is gone now that the competent thieves have arrived
The free education is going to solve many problems. Anyway, why are the northern NDC politicians not criticizing Nana's free SHS. It is because they have benefited from it.
At least you acknowledge that they're competent. That's enough for me.
He is not de person to rule us.He is a criminal.

Who told education is totally free in the US? Ghanaians with myopic minds
STUPID FOOL WHO TOLD YOU THAT THE UNITED STATES AND UNITED KINGDOM HAVE THIS STUPID POLICY,?.
So u guys preferred the misuse of the oil money by Mahama to build mansions in Dubai. Buy and donate V8 to chiefs???
what's the heritage fund for? future of Gh? Are students not the future of Gh? just use the money judiciously and wisely. education is the biggest investment that guarantees gain 100% of the time
I think the whole issue of charging "Land Poll" tax for Citizens and Expatriates should be revisited
Yes middle income status means majority of citizens are increasingly becoming educated.
Already lots of school leavers without jobs......create jobs.......lobby companies to bring manufacturing bases here......kenya has a Volkswagen plant......Uganda is yet to get same........after free education.....what next.. ...

If u won't allow them to use it for educational purposes then, go and stop them and use it for bus branding
Why create a Heritage Fund for an uneducated generation? Use your gift of brain given to you by Jehovah to think.
The one not thinking straight is you. Now, ask yourself as to why Nigeria, Angola, Gabon and many others that are having tens of billion of barrels more in oil reserves as compared to that of Ghana are not doing what Kukurudu ...

I believe you have raised a very good point here. Those who want to go to the board house, I believe should be made to pay at least for boarding. Good point!
Good and sensible question. That was my question too. Why is NPP rushing to implement vital policies that need to studied thoroughly

NPP has always fought for the Heritage FUND to be preserved for the future of our kids.
Now education is the future of our kids
Good move yes
thieves, thieves, thieves
I think the government can use the free SHS to boost agriculture. The free meals should be mostly come from local food and drinks to create market for agribusinesses.
THANKS NANA, BUT WE WILL VOTE NPP OUT IF THEY DON'T RETRIEVE ALL THE STOLEN TAX PAYERS MONEY FROM NDC THIEVES. THEY USE THEIR FAMILIES NAME TO BUY PROPERTIES HOME AND ABROAD

Hey NPP !!! So using the heritage funds is one of the innovative ways of raising money as promised by Dr Bawumia.
Wake up folks. Educating all our children is one of the keys to Ghana's advancement. Look at Singapore and Malaysia. These politicians spend more money than what it will cost to fund education from kindergarten to university.
Kofi Npp stopped NDC not to touch the fund and that led NDC to IMF.
That was the only way to avoid the IMF programme at that time but Npp was against it so why touching it now if they feel they have to meet their campaign ...

Not to touch the fund to pay debts like NDC wanted to do. But to educate our children is the way to a better future for Ghana.
Its takes a fool to know a fool. Your thinking cat is bankrupt. Our oil is only good for 20 years so what are we going to use at that time to fund our education? You see your foolishness or you need more education?
By the end of the 20 years most of the students would be gainfully employed and pay taxes.........Do you need a new brain?
And what will be the population at that time My wiseman? Do you know how much we were buying crude oil 10 years ago and today?
The student population will increase by another 100 fold in the next 20 years whiles oil price ...

Don't mind them do your job
No one in the NDC is smart enough to know that using the Heritage fund for free education is right on point. Educating students free in second-cycle institutions is the way to a better future. I give NPP A++.
Sure, this good news from old veteran Osafo Marfo. This will enable the entire country well equipped and qualified for the advancement and progress of the nation.
don't mind them do your job nana
If education is expensive, try ignorance which is free.
