For the information of DMB and his camp, JDM held a very successful meeting with the leadership of CHASS on how to address the challenges affecting teaching and learning in our secondary schools on April 8th, 2024.
Why would JDM waste precious time by engaging the heads of our secondary schools to discuss how to resolve challenges bedevilling the implementation of the FSHS policy if he intends to cancel FSHS?
At the meeting, JDM listened to the long list of challenges narrated by the heads of our secondary schools and promised to work with them to address their raised concerns when he gets the nod. He restated his intention to convene a national stakeholders forum to deliberate on the FSHS Programme as a first step towards reviewing it to make it better.
JDM's position on the decentralisation of the feeding arrangements in our secondary school system to ensure that feeding grants go directly to schools to procure food for students, was welcomed.
Equally, his promise to end the obnoxious double track system by completing uncompleted structures and adding new ones, to increase educational infrastructure also received commendation.
If DMB is honest and worth his salt, he should tell Ghanaians that the current government he is a part of told the IMF that the FSHS Programme will be reviewed and rationalised.
The duplicity of DMB is affirmed by the fact that he, the vice President, was captured in the said report, dated January 2024, as the highest government official who represented government during the review meeting with the IMF. Why was he comfortable telling the IMF the truth but continues deceiving Ghanaians, that review means cancel?
DMB should be bold enough to tell Ghanaians, that JDM was right in calling for a review of the FSHS Programme just as he represented government to admit to the IMF, as captured, on page 76 paragraph 47 of the first review of the IMF program.
Instead of DMB and his camp focusing on how to rescue their flopped campaign, they are busy pushing the stale and impotent lie, that JDM will collapse FSHS. No reasonable Ghanaian believes the nonsensical claim that JDM will cancel FSHS.
FSHS will thrive and blossom under JDM as President because he will work with stakeholders to fix the challenges.

Mahama? Someone who has ever been attacking the policy? We don't have SHORT MEMORIES!
I want those gullible Ghanaians to vote these characters back into power so that they can really see their smoothness level
Lessons will be taken from National Health Insurance. First you said it is not possible, walked out of paliament the day it was passed. Because of power you lieeeeed that you that when voted into power you will make it one time premium. What happened you could not implement it but rather left a debt for NPP led by Nana Addo to come and pay. What has happened to your 24hr economy. You have abandon that and now talking about free SHS. We do not have short memories as you claim.
Free shs is about funding, why is Mahama not telling us what his review is about. We all know what they did Kuffour's 4 yr high school program. So if the stake holders conclude to pay for boarding, it means only rich people are going to benefit from boarding school in Ghana.
Apaak, your master's current position on the subject is an infectious lie straight form the pit of hell!
How can somebody who opposed the Free SHS suddenly change to be a supporter of it? Unless, Mahama confess to Ghanaians that he was wrong and ask for forgiveness, no one should take him serious. NDC will collapse Free SHS and this is no joke. Omanbofo. Educated people who don't want Ghanaian poor to be educated.
AHHHHH Eiiii something that he bastardized it. Apaak, he will collapse it
