After former President John Dramani Mahama claimed to have launched the Free SHS policy in 2015 under a progressive arrangement, an old tweet from the National Democratic Congress flagbearer resurfaced, labelling the policy as a misplaced priority.
The tweet from John Dramani Mahama’s official account in 2012 downplayed the necessity of the free Senior High School policy. In it, Mahama advocated for the implementation of free basic education for primary students instead.
"Free SHS is a misplaced priority if primary school pupils still pay fees. Let's make primary free first," his tweet read.
