Former President John Dramani Mahama has expressed concern over the government’s poor implementation of the Free Senior High School (SHS) policy.
He says the challenges facing the implementation of Free SHS are adversely affecting the quality of secondary education.
Addressing delegates of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) at Drobonso in the Sekyere Afram Plains Constituency as part of his flagbearership campaign tour of the Ashanti Region, Mr Mahama wondered why this year’s students are being made to spend just 41 days in the classroom under the double track system.
He said turning secondary education into green-gold “traffic light” under the double-track system could be detrimental to academic work of students, adding that it has brought pressure on parents to raise additional money to pay for remedial classes for their wards.
Mr Mahama observed that the Free SHS policy is a constitutional requirement and it is therefore important that it is properly implemented.
He has therefore reiterated his point that a new NDC administration will fix the challenges confronting free secondary education in Ghana by eliminating the double-track system.
He promised to build new dormitories, additional classroom blocks and also complete all the 200 Community Day Secondary School buildings as part of measures to reverse the double track system.
Mr Mahama has therefore urged delegates of the NDC to give him the mandate to lead the party to victory in the 2020 elections.

Let be tolerant to opinions. HE HIMSELF IS A REPOSITORY OF INSULTS. REMEMBER HOW ACERBIC HE SOUNDED WHEN HE WAS PRESIDENT AND GOT AROUND HIM SAME FOLKS. WHY DO YOU THINK JJ REFERENCED THE FOLKS AROUND HIM AS BABIES WITH SHARP TEETH. WERE WE THEN BUDDHIST? me ketse aa, are we not Christians and Muslims. Krakye ka wo ano pa do wo hom.

The man literally said it was impossible to implement Free SHS across the length and breath of the nation. The earlier this man stops talking about FREE SHS, the better. He hasn't a clue on the true meaning of social interventionist policies. Please tell Former President John Mahama to be an original thinker and stop cruising on the passenger side of his best friends car.
Listen very carefully ooooooo. JDM and his NDC will cancel the Free SHS in a very diplomatic manner when they come into power. Asiedu Nketia has also reiterated this point severally. Let them stay in opposition and fight from the corner.

what happened to your unrealistic one time premium you and late prof Mills promise ghanaians. You think we have short memories abi! you are joking nobody will listen to that propaganda. Wake up from your sleep of becoming President again. You said there is no strongholds for any political party, Go and tell the Voltarians
I hurts so badly to notice we ever allowed a real ***barred word*** to rule over us! Do people say he is a commmunication specialist or something?This is what a cousin of mine would call " Gyeme tuo na mame nkwan ngo" He just talk without thinking at all.
Has this guy any message than just finding fault with the current progressive government? Today Akuffo-Addo, this and tomorrow Akuffo-Addo that nkoaa. So those with Doctorial degrees and whatever in the NDC party can't advise this guy? Or can't they find a better person to lead to loose the next election with dignity than the total disgrace and collapse this guy is leading them to?
