Interesting perspective from the Prof. Free SHS might not have retained thr NPP but I'm sure if the NDC should touch it, it will affect their electoral fortune
I was disappointed with the Prof!
I watched the Prof on Channel One TV last night. I must say I was disappointed with the Profs statement. I believe that after 7/8 ears of the policy people saw it as an entitlement. And ...

Was the FSHS the only issue in Ghana that could go against the NPP?
Who lies like NPP? The most regrettable thing that happened to Ghana. Propaganda into power and nothing else than corruption. Ghanaians are not stupid; we have learnt our lessons. As for Nana Addo, the least talked about him ...

It is a very profound statement from statesman. The simplest way to manage free SHS is first compell students to go to school in their district. Then those who fail to go school in their district must pay a half of the total ...

Stupid! A whole Prof with this stupid logic. May be we should change the University of Ghana after you left so many uncompleted buildings that the university is still paying for. Stupid logic.
Adzie, you are such a useless person, an idiot and mentally sick person. You hate the truth because it hurts. Foolish man you are and book rusted person. You can’t even evaluate what was packaged to the secondary educatio ...

Free SHS is bogus and it has destroyed secondary school education in Ghana. Our boarding schools are overcrowded with numerous students and are packed into small dormitories
You are absolutely right.
Foolish man, another idiot looking for a position. Please don't listen to him; he is a disgrace. Go pay the money you stole from Legon Aboa
What a garbage from a supposedly, learned, educated professor. Mr Professor do you know the cumulative effect and impact of the FSHS in the next 10-20 years?
Mr Professor in Ghana and Africa people don’t vote on issues ...

The past government has always brought something in its term of office. Health insurance, Ghana card and free Education. Can the current government boast of any? This time they should also try to do something.
Professor, you cannot represent the parents of Ghana with your own ideas. You only do not want your own privileged children to be in the same dormitory or class with the children of the gardeners of the University of Ghana ir ...

Im disappointed on the respectef prof. How can such an effusion come from him. Then he should tell Mahama to cancel it.
This man don't deserve his accolades to be called a professor
Prof it's not too late to cancel it.
Why not suggest ways to improve quality rather recommending review? We can still keep the free shs as everyone needs free and then work to improve quality because cancelling or limiting will also have political implications f ...

You're an idiot.
Such nonsense from a prof.
Such statement will only come from someone from Volta region, northern region and Greater Accra region. They are so backward and inward looking that the so call educated don't want the under privilege to progress in life.
This prof is not thinking right. Anyone suggesting free tuition, but paid feeding is an enermy of the poor. This government has tried to push more students to day schools.
Will a professor of merit sound empty and dumb like that? Mr professor, the people voted the NPP out because of the 8 years jinx and not that parents want to pay boarding fees. How will parents not be happy with good results ...

So this stupid man was also a vice-chancellor? Does he not know that instead of 7 years schooling has reduced to just 3 years for a person to enter university?
Usless and empty talk. Is the FSHS the only issue which Ghanaians vote on? Perhaps the is a happy about the current exorbitant money parents are paying now.
Are you such. Which Africa country produce quality education. Hypocrites. Do you think the current govt is doing well than the previous administration. Education should not the sole responsible for govt.
Prof, what about graduates from our universities? Tell Ghanaians paying for boarding can change the quality of SHS education? You have said nothing!
Are we being told that the free SHS was the single denominator/ determinant in last year's elections. Were there not other factors that determined the elections outcome. I find it very difficult to understand why some people ...

All these people are bunch of funken idiots
Prof Aryeetey, I want to believe that you've been misquoted. Certainly FSHS isn't the only variable voters consider in their voting decision.
Just to downplay policies of the previous government so that he could get something from the current government.Usless man
Is this ANIMAL a Professor? His IQ is very, very low. NPP lost the elections because of people like you who went round to tell LIES about everything the NPP did. Which parent was not happy with Free SHS under NPP? You, Mahama ...

If parents in the school are not ready to pay to support their kids why do you expect old students to continue contributing to the school infrastructure and services? It makes no sense.
How can a professor talk like this?even a shoe shine boy may not talk this way education is the best which ever way

Even their professors lack common sense and very greedily foolish
This guy is a professor but can’t realize that tuition was free before Free SHS. It is free boarding that has given birth to free SHS.it is no more fee SHS if students have to pay for boarding.
Because of the propaganda lies your NDC spew out on the masses. Tweaaaa, apuuuuuuuu

Very unfortunate effusions from a former leader of an institution like Legon.

This professor is a respectable man, somebody should tell him that if he has nothing sensible to say, he should not display his stupidity by commenting on anything just because he wants to be heard.

When fools come to power foolish men abound
My problem with this prof is that he did not show any research he has conducted to support his claim that parents are not happy with the FSHS. He is therefore not credible.
Why must so-called intellectuals always seek to score cheap political points when making arguments. Yes, the NPP started the FSHS in 2017 or so after it was elected. It went on to win the 2020 elections but lost in 2024. So, ...
