Alexander Akwasi Acquah, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member of Parliament for Akim Oda, has urged the government to make substantial allocations to the Free Senior High School (SHS) Secretariat in the upcoming 2025 budget.
He stressed the importance of sustaining and increasing investment in the Free SHS program to ensure its continued success and to support students and their families.
“It will be one of the serious issues for the government to do, to cut investment in free SHS. We have done our best, and we expect that they must continue so that at least we have dedicated funding for this free SHS programme so that we don’t see our people demanding food from their parents here and there,” Acquah stated on the Channel One Newsroom on Monday.
The MP further emphasized the need for sufficient funding to maintain the program’s effectiveness, ensuring students receive the necessary resources without financial strain on their families.
“We expect that government does a lot of allocation to the Free SHS Secretariat,” he added.
