The Okyenhene underscored the importance of education hence the provision of education on a large scale should be celebrated.
Okyenhene Osagyefuo Amoatia Ofori Panin has said, education is very critical to the development of the youth in every country, therefore, interventions needed to support such a worthy course cannot be postponed, relegated or less prioritized.
“The real wealth of a nation is her people and the future lies in the education, skills and values that society passes on to the young people on whose backs and minds the pillars of national progress, unity and development are to be built. The needs of the education for our youth cannot be postponed, de-prioritised or relegated”
He said, therefore that, Ghanaians must be grateful to President Akufo-Addo for the introduction of Free Senior High School Policy in the country.

According to the revered Paramount Chief of Akyem Abuakwa, the Policy intervention by the President is a demonstration of his commitment to providing equal opportunity to all Ghanaian children to have access to quality education.
“For our part as Ghanaians, we are grateful to President Akufo-Addo for living up to his promise of Free Secondary Education. Today every single child in every public high school in Ghana has free education. And, not only that, nearly 800,000 of them are boarders, who also enjoy free education.
