Founder of the All People’s Congress (APC), Hassan Ayariga has lashed out at the government over the implementation of the Free Senior High School policy.
He says the policy has become “an embarrassment and disappointment to students and parents”.
According to him, the policy has even led to the increase in teenage pregnancies among female senior high school students in the country.
Addressing the media on the 2018 budget presented in Parliament by the Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta, the 2012 Presidential Candidate for the People’s National Convention on Wednesday said the challenges of the policy recently aired by the outgoing President of the Conference of Heads of Assisted Secondary Schools (CHASS), Cecilia Kwakye Coffie, is enough evidence of the poor timing of the implementation.
At the 68th Speech and Prize-Giving Day of Wnneba Senior High School, Ms Coffie said there are major challenges facing the Free SHS policy and the earlier government saw to solving them the better.
But this was roundly dismissed by government. Mr Ayariga was unhappy with government’s reaction, saying it could herald the creeping in of the era of silence.
On the issue of the increase in teenage pregnancy, he explained that because there are limited facilities at most schools, most of the students have rented private accommodation “making them vulnerable”.

The Northerners have been enjoying Free Education, but they do not want the Southerners, who produce everything to feed the nation, to enjoy the same benefit. This is the time the Akans should think twice. The Northerners are the Prophets of DOOM when it comes to Free SHS. 'What is good for geese is also good for gander.'
For the reason that insanity and state of the mind is a question of law and not fact, this man respectable is an exception. That is besides the point. Ghanaians and Africans for that matter are very good at criticisms and when it come to solutions, they are just all over the place, the reason we in African are professional beggers. It is when a black over learn and seek the face of God that he becomes a human being with all the accolades. What we have been given in abundance is how to talk f66lishness and using our raw strength and mind like my honourable brother Ayariga.
Ayariga is back on his clown show. Could he grow up for once.
THE TRUTH ALWAYS PAINS
when will this ED10T stop his jealousy and hatred? uuuse-lees kotiboto, 419 man, give us a break and stop disturbing our peaceful minds.
What kind of country is this that a donkey can organise a press conference and the media will be there to hear its incessant neighing.Why the press publishes the drivel this f001 spews out is what I cannot understand.This guy is a no brainer and we should not waste time with him.By the way the people praying for the collapse of the Free JHS are the once who believe that if you keep people ***barred word*** and illiterate it is easier to st3al from them.
'Oh, how SAD, A Northerner who HAS BENEFITED from FREE SHS talk like this?
I hope Ghanaians have their eyes 👀 wide open to know who the real enemies of progress and enemies of state as well as enemies of the people of Ghana are! Never again NDC buf00nery!
