The National Council of Parent-Teacher Associations (NCPTAs) has commended President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo for taking the bold step to implement the Free Senior High School Policy.
A statement signed by Mr Alexander Yaw Danso, the National President, and copied to the Ghana News Agency (GNA) on Thursday, said the association believed the policy would go a long way to relieve parents from their struggles to finance their children’s secondary education.
It said the policy would also help junior high school graduates to have access to secondary education and increase the country’s literacy rate.
The statement said to ensure that the policy was sustained, the NCPTAs would continue to contribute its quota to enhance teaching and learning in schools.
“We, therefore, urge all stakeholders in education to support this laudable policy to benefit all Ghanaians,” it said.
The statement appealed to the Ministry of Education and Ghana Education Service to strengthen their monitoring system to improve the quality of education in the country, “particularly when people tend to take free things for granted”.
It expressed the hope that all parents would contribute their quota in supporting their children and not rely solely on the Government.

A very great call.. According to UNESCO, Institute of Statistics,In the year 2000, Ghana's literacy rate for age 15 and above was 57.90%, Ten years down the lane in year 2010, it was 71.50%.. The vision of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is for us as a country achieve a 100% literacy rate like Democratic Republic of Korea or go beyond 99% like Latvia,Estonia,Lithuania,Azerbaijan,Poland, Cuba, Tajikistan,Ukraine,Slovenia,Russia, Italy and the likes. Let's all look at how developed such countries are? We all need to support in this call to make our nation great..
