President Nana Addo on Tuesday launched the Free SHS policy in Accra estimated to cost in excess of GH¢400 million for the 2017/2018 academic year.

The Free SHS programme is a flagship intervention by the NPP government to widen the gates of opportunities to every child.

The policy under the NPP will relieve the burden of parents of over 400,000 students entering Senior High School for the first time after qualifying from the Junior High School level. The Free SHS Policy will also cover pupils who gain admission to technical, vocational and agricultural institutions.
