Free SHS policy unfair to day students – UCC Pro

It's quite worrying for a Pro VC of a primarily educational university to advocate for certain SHS like Wesley Girls, Achimota etc to be exempted from being free. Prof. are you advocating that only the rich and well to do should send their kids to such schools? That will be a very dangerous route for our country to take where social profiling will be encouraged by well respected people like you. No Prof!

ReShould your suggestion be for the North too so that boarders pay for boarding and lodging too? That will then be good and fair.

Re: When there are schools in every localityYour point is noted but in the developed countries like the UK, there is no boarding for public schools. All public schools are day schools. Thus students go to schools in their localities. This is what Ghana must encourage b ...

This is truly unfair, Prof.Good point Prof. Government should only be ar the cost of the school fees. Boarding and feeding fees should be borne by the parents. This would in a way save the government' pocket. Period!

No Perfect Policy in the world Prof.The Professor's argument is flawed. What about those who don't have their children in SHS now? are they not Ghanaians? You cannot have a perfect policy in the world.
