Former President John Mahama has revealed how he will improve the 'Free SHS' as currently being implemented by the Akufo-Addo government if wins power in the 2020 elections.
According to him, though free education is a public good, "it must be implemented in a manner that is sustainable an does not compromise quality".
In this vein, he added, "a new NDC Government will improve the Free SHS programme and make it better."
In a lengthy post on Facebook, the former president went ahead to list four main things he will do to improve the policy if he gets the nod.
HE WROTE:
Education is key to our country’s development.
Free education is a public good, as was demonstrated by my administration. FREE EDUCATION MUST BE implemented in a manner that is sustainable and does not compromise quality.
A new NDC Government will improve the Free SHS programme and make it better.
We will abolish the current shift (double track) system, reintroduce the more efficient three-terms per academic year programme, and bring back the emphasis on skills training, technical and vocational education to provide students with more options, as they go forward with their choices in diverse career and aptitude paths.�
NDC will improve learning outcomes, teaching, teacher development and supervision across all schools.
We will also implement a crash programme to complete all the remaining abandoned Community Day Schools and construct additional ones in areas of high demand to be able to provide increased access and avoid the current congestion being experienced due to the current poor implementation of the programme.
In addition, a National Stakeholders Conference will be organised to bring together headmasters, parents, teachers, educationists, labour, politicians, traditional leaders, religious groups, CSOs, students and others to further review and chart a sustainable course for the implementation of free education for our children and country.

John mahama bring your ideas and stop chasing fir somebody's! what do you have I'm your sleeves to better the living conditions of your ndc members who are the most poorest? what do you have to help your own Bole Bamboi people who drink together with cattle in one stream? what have you thought differently in your damn drunkard head to help your own people? Bring what you can do not what somebody is doing! odwan!! Akufo Addo and the NPP were consistent with what they would do when Ghanaians give them power,he didn't talk about your 200 promised community day HS projects, you promised and promised not to promise so you and the NPP who are liars? Mr promise to promise no more promising we remember your 200 day schools turned to be 23 finished, your one time premium turned to be collapse of the NHIS, bring out what ndc actually did that you can point the NPP are messing up? don't bring your so called uncompleted day schools in the b*sh with exorbitant inflated prices, we know you chose to buy properties in someone's land faraway Dubai to employ the youth of that country and created unemployed graduates association in Ghana! were/are you not paying those your workers in Dubai? we're you paying nurses and teachers in Ghana for over 3 years? didn't you cancel the allowances that helped needy students from poor homes? did you think of our future leaders who were the children of Ghana? how many were on the streets due to parents unavailability to pay fees during your us*less reign? and how many are on the streets now,2020 we will take all into consideration! were you paying service providers for the NHIS ? and since you left when was the last time you heard Doctors on strike? your debts and mess are being cleared,if you have any conscience,you would have apologized to the good people of Ghana fir sending them through that suffering and hardship but not annoying them with your unco*th and uncult*red utterances. Akufo Addo has no time to respond to F00000*00ls, people with no shame and respect, ign*rance is too expensive than education and that is what you are! we don't need naive leaders, who only survival is to copy somebody, why do we bring John mahama when Akufo Addo and his NPP who conceived and born ideas are still alive and kicking to bring that mahama who doesn't sleep good to dream of ideas because of ogoglo to come and mess things that deep thinkers have brought ? Ghana doesn't need a drunkard who sleep and snore nons*nse wake up at 8am and go to work at 11 am and come back for more shorts at 4 pmdoes he John mahama think Ghana is only Bole Bamboi who will tolerate a drunkard with no vision? somebody ask John mahama if even he understands the policies of Akufo Addo's administration? he said,he was going to ask for advise from stake holders such a f000*00l,only in Africa ! tell him, we don't need him because those who dreamt of those good ideas are still around and can identify their short comings and rectify! such an idi*t Ghanaians found it safe to boot him out is still exposing his ign*rance. Ndc will rot in opposition. Somebody tell John mahama 2020 will be worst off because of his naivety, he is not a leader with sense. Kojo Bonsu will be better than this thing for the ndc.Ogy*mifuo
So apart from Free SHS issues Mahama has no other visoin or reason for wanting so desperately to become President again? This guy truly has no vision and has nothing to offer. For if all you talk about on your campaign to become flagbearer for NDC is to talk about Nana Addo's SHS initiatives, the I submit that NDC will be buului waaa to elect such a visionless person as their flagbearer.
John Mahama please stop talking. YOU KNOW YOURSELF THAT YOUR PRIDE IS BEEN DECEIVING YOU SINCE YOU KILLED PRESIDENT ATTA MILLS. YOU ARE HEADING TOWARDS YOUR END OF THE POLITICAL CARRIER. AFTER THE ELECTION 2020, YOU WILL SMELL PEPPER AND THAT WILL END YOUR USE LESS TALKS
WE DO NOT NEED YOU TO IMPROVE UPON SOMEBODY'S INITIATIVE. WHAT WILL YOU BRING ON BOARD. TO NOT ALTERATE. CREATE.
ENOUGH OF YOU. OTHER WISE MEN WHO CAN THINK FOR THEMSELVES WILL CONTINUE OO.
