The government will complete 70 Community Day Senior High Schools by the end of 2016, President John Mahama has assured. According to the President, his administration has so far inaugurated some 32 schools nationwide, as part of his promise to build 200 hundred Senior High Schools in his first term.
Addressing the chiefs and people of Sandema in the Builsa traditional area of the Upper East Region, President Mahama appealed to the people to vote come December 7 to enable him continue these projects.
In his address, President Mahama said during his administration, the education sector has seen phenomenal investment as “every secondary school in this country has seen some development in infrastructure.”
“Aside from that, we said we would build 200 new secondary schools, 32 have admitted students this academic year. By the end of the year, 70 will be completely ready and as promised in our manifesto, in my second term, I will complete all the 200 secondary schools,” he added.
“This will provide the opportunity every year to admit another 150,000 young people in secondary schools that otherwise would not have had the secondary education because their education would have ended at the JHS level since there are no vacancies in our secondary schools.”
President Mahama, as part of his campaign tour of the Upper East Region, also paid a courtesy call on the Paramount Chief of the area, Nab Azaksuik Azantilow.

Those Day SHS with bungalow were built as a result by the world bank project. So Mr President and your NDC should stop the lies that all were built by the government through its own means.
When ssnit builds a project the president runs to commision it for votes and yet still making promises that he couldnt fulfill, we need to let our politicians know that we need serious leaders and not loot and share leaders so lets vote massively against incometency and lies......eeei 70 paa by end of 2016 which is left with just a month to end, so how many did he build in his 4yrs terminal.....The battle is still the Lords, change and peace will reign
really 32? i know 23 with bungalow were built by the world bank project, therefor the government has actually completed 9 on its own after 4 years...
Very sad for Ghana having a President who can look into the eyes of his people and lie. Just yesterday I read about this President telling Ghanaians our infrastructure development is ahead of United States. Kwaku Baaku will say "laila ayilala" God damn. What a lie by a license irritant of a President. Just a month to end the of 2016 and he is telling us he is going to finish something he couldn't do in four years in one month. Jesus Christ of Nazareth. For heaven sake, Please respect Ghanaians just a little bit. What a heck? You remember he said last year that he will put money our pockets? you remember he said dumso will be a thing of the past in 2012? You remember he said he will build ten more Teacher Training colleges in 2012? Ask him where has reached with those promises? Now he is saying he is going to create 3 million jobs. Are you going to trust him? Please just lets punish him so that all politicians will learn to respect us for once. I am for change, it is only through that that we can get a little respect from this crooks known as politicians.
I am from Apagya in the Adansi East of the Ashanti Region. One of such schools have been nicely put there. My question is where are we going to get the qualified JHS graduates to feed the school. There are 2 JHSs in the area, 1 at Apagya itself and the other at Atobiase which is 1 km from Apagya. It not likely that more than half of each of these 2 JHS in the area (Apagya and Atobiase) will qualify for SHS. Why do we have to put such a huge school at Apagya.
