Parliament to introduce Free SHS bill to make it binding on successive governments
Parliament has announced that it is ready to introduce a Free Senior High School bill.
The legislation will make the implementation of the free SHS policy binding on successive governments.
Ghana’s Parliament
The Majority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, announced at a press briefing ahead of Parliament’s resumption from break on Tuesday, June 11, 2024.
He indicated that a finalised bill is ready for presentation by the Education Minister, Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum.
According to him, the move is to prevent any government from attempting to abort the policy.
The Majority Leader insisted that “If we consider it [Free SHS bill] as a House, what that means is that it becomes mandatory for governments to implement this.”
“Unless it is repealed, no government would have the right to say, I am not going to enforce Free SHS because now it is law, so if you fail, a citizen can apply to the court as his bona fide and the court can exact justice in that citizen’s favor,” he said.
