Only forty-six out of the 200 planned Community Day Senior High Schools project initiated by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government has been completed, the Minister of Education, Dr Mathew Opoku Prempeh has said.
In a radio interview on Asempa FM Tuesday afternoon, the new sector Minister said even with the 46 completed ones, not all of them are in use.
The NDC government had on a number of occasions announced that more than 123 of the schools were at various stages of completion and released a list of the said schools in October 2016 following clamours for evidence of progress on the schools.
Former President Mahama in the NDC Manifesto for Election 2012 promised to build 200 of the day schools between 2013 and 2016 with the intention to build at least 50 each year within the four-year period.
But with a few months to Election 2016, the NDC admitted it was not going to be able to achieve that feat. Mr Mahama, however, inaugurated a few of them for use with the announcement that 75 were ready for use.
In the radio interview Tuesday, Dr Prempeh said the New Patriotic Party (NPP) was not going to handle the free SHS programme in the same way as the NDC handled the day schools project.
Below is the list the NDC government released in October 2016:

Ah Nana paa, who are you building a catedral for? Allow the religious bodies to build their own catedrals and build hospitails and schools for Ghanaians. I think you should reconsider that cathedral idea. I am a christian but I think we would not lose much without one. You need to allow your team to prioritize.
Ah! Napo paa you do not appreciate good work, just be honest to your self. what does "more than 123 of the schools were at various stages of completion" mean? well let me educate the writer it simply means that those buildings has started but are not completed. so if even there are at a footing, ground floor, finishes, furnishes,or second floor they are all a stage of completion. stop the politics and blame game and get to work. complete the buildings for the nation needs it.
U TINK BUILDING A CATHEDRAL IS A WASTE OF MONEY? I TINK U REALLY NEED HELP GET A PSYCHIATRIST TO CHECK ON U..OOOFUI!
LOOK AT THAT NAPO; THE NOSE, THE MOUTH OR THE WHERE?
Just try to build another 46 in four years instead of wasting your funds on the cathedral and we shall vote for you again.
NDC thought they could deceive ALL the people ALL the time. NEVER AGAIN!
NDC has 3.years and 4 months to build 46 fully completed. What about the 23 by the World Bank. You are uncharged so Start the progress of completing the process. We would also mark you.
OOOOOh Napoooo!!!!. Yes, NDC started and not completed. What is left is to complete it before the next academic year so go and complete and stop the blame game. Think about Teacher Training and Nurses Allowances and how to implement the Free SHS policy. Stop wasting your and our time on NDC did this and that. Did you know that NDC built only 46 schools out of 200 schools before you came to power? Shut your mouth and deliver your unattainable promises.
In how many years did they build the 46 schools? Considering the fact that your party held the country to ransom for 8 good months out of the 4 years mandate given the NDC!!!
