@oparedawuro: Breaking! Free SHS in Crisis? Felix Appiah Accuses Mahama and NDC of Breaking Their Promise. In today’s edition of Sounds From Afar, Felix Appiah criticizes President John Dramani Mahama and the NDC government over the management and financing of Ghana’s Free Senior High School programme. Felix compares the implementation of Free SHS under the former NPP government with the programme’s current state under the NDC. He argues that the Mahama administration has failed to deliver the improved and sustainable financing model it promised while in opposition. The discussion follows controversy over government borrowing connected to secondary education. Although critics have described the financing as borrowing to support Free SHS, Education Minister Haruna Iddrisu has disputed that characterization, saying the funds are intended to expand secondary-school infrastructure rather than directly finance the programme. Felix reminds Ghanaians that the NDC previously criticized the NPP’s handling of Free SHS and promised to manage the policy more effectively. He now questions why the government is seeking external financing after presenting itself as having a better plan. Has the Mahama government improved Free SHS, or is the programme facing deeper financial and management challenges? Was the NDC’s promise of a better funding model realistic?
