Ayariga says Free SHS has increased teenage pregnancy
24 November 2017 at 10:28According to him, the policy has resulted in an increase in teenage pregnancies among female senior high school students in the country.
Founder of the All People’s Congress (APC) Hassan Ayariga has described the government’s Free Senior High School policy as “an embarrassment and disappointment to students and parents”.
Addressing the media on the 2018 budget presented in Parliament recently, Ayariga said the challenges of the policy outlined by the outgoing President of the Conference of Heads of Assisted Secondary Schools (CHASS), Cecilia Kwakye Coffie, show that the policy was poorly timed.
He further argued that since there are limited facilities at most schools, most of the students have rented private accommodation “making them vulnerable."
