Dr Mathew Opoku-Prempeh, Education Minister

Minister of Education, Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh, has reiterated an earlier statement that by implementing the Free Senior High School (SHS) policy, the Akufo-Addo regime had outperformed previous governments including that of Dr Kwame Nkrumah.

Prior to the implementation of the free second cycle education, a section of the Ghanaian people expressed skepticism with some describing it as undoable.

The scepticism, however, didn’t stop the administration from rolling out the policy, in its first year after taking office.
