Franklin Cudjoe of IMANI Ghana<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The Executive Director of IMANI Ghana, Mr. Franklin Cudjoe says the Free Senior High School policy is a not timely intervention, considering the current economic challenges that Ghana is bedeviled with.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not the time to roll out this policy, and even if it was time, the way it was even announced shows a certain kind of unpreparedness, \u201che emphasized.<\/p>\n

In his opinion, government<\/span> should have engaged in broader discussion before launching out such a policy.<\/p>\n

Speaking on Eyewitness News, he stated that “In any forward looking society that wants to undertake a policy with systemic implications or development, one would have thought that this would have been a matter that the Sector Ministry (Ministry of Education) would discuss with stakeholders.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMost of the fundamentals going forward have been affected by the way the cedi<\/span> is already performing \u2026<\/span>taking into consideration this policy ,<\/span>there are issues that would suffer in the education sector,\u201d he further explained.<\/p>\n

He also stated that unwillingness of Ghanaian politicians to test their policies before carrying them out was a contributing factor to a failure of most of their policies.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the things that is fundamentally wrong with Ghanaian politicians is that they have big dreams, but don\u2019t want to test their policies.\u201d<\/p>\n

President Dramani<\/span> Mahama<\/span> in his state of the nation address last Tuesday, revealed government’s plans of implementing the Free SHS policy.<\/p>\n

Government<\/span> on Monday, cut sod for construction work to begin on<\/span> promised community schools in some regions.<\/p>\n
