Government communicators and apologists admit that "free SHS"(?), for now, covers ONLY first year students, despite NPP's manifesto promise to "ensure free education for all Ghanaian children up to senior high school".
In fact, these same people also admit that continuing students (2nd and 3rd SHS students) are completely excluded from the ongoing policy.
Put differently, students in SHS 2 and 3 will pick their own bills for secondary education. And that's a point that government communicators do not disagree!
Yet they insist they insist that the government's free secondary education policy in its present form is not progressively free but rather universally free.

Ei! The resurgence of 'the babies with sharp teeth." You Deh that?
Dear former deputy minister of communication, None of the comments are addressing the issue of universal or progressive free S.H.S. policy because we expect better from you. From your days at Radio Gold, i thought you were sincere and objective,but, i was wrong. You are just like all other politicians. Make a genuine attempt to change this perspective.
People like this ediiiot are the reason why Ghanaians voted out the incommpetent John Mahama and his gang of fouooolish minsters
It beats my mind that no one is writing to the arquement put forward but just insults. This kind of arrogance caused NDC power and it will cause NPP as well.
What impact did you make as Deput Minister and a staffer at the office of Vice Presidential to development of Ghana.Keep quiet and hide yourself.
To the shallow minded like this one, shall means 2017.
Massa is your ***barred word*** that beats me completely. Good for nothing people
Frankly; we did have some jaguar jokers as Ministers from this evil NDC party because what logic is this full talking about and what has this got to do with logical reasoning ; this is a policy program by the NPP and it has been partially fulfilled for the first year and hopefully will continue for the next three years ; this idiotic NDC Agyemim-Boateng should go read the initial stages of Kwame Nkrumah's intial stage roll out of free education ; there were problems but eventually these were solved ;same with this NPP program ; the TRUTH is that NDC is rattled by the initial success of the program amnd do not know what to say because they said it could not done .
Where are the 200 SHS the NDC promised, why could they not build all in one year. 'The Logic beats me completely'
Did the Gov't promise that in the very first year of its implementation, the policy would cover all the students? What would you say,if in 2 years time, the policy has been extended to cover all the students (from forms 1 to 3)? Mo ab)n roff!
