The Member of Parliament for Central Tongu, Alexander Roosevelt, has stated that Senior High Schools in Ghana are facing severe challenges despite the government’s significant investment in the Free Senior High School policy.
During the presentation of the 2024 Mid-Year Budget Review, the Finance Minister announced that over 9 billion Ghana Cedis have been invested in the initiative since its inception.
However, according to Alexander Roosevelt, this investment has not yielded any notable improvements.
In an interview with Citi News, he expressed concerns that the challenges persist, and the investment has not translated into meaningful benefits.

“Review it, you don’t want to do it, do you pump money into something for no value? The moment you pump money into something, the value must come back, but we can’t see the value with the Free SHS,” the Member of Parliament for Central Tongu asked.
