550 Students Placed in TASHS for Free SHS

550 Junior High School graduates have been placed in Tanyigbe Senior High School to benefit from the government’s Free SHS program.

The Free SHS program is a long-held campaign promise by the New Patriotic Party that seeks to increase enrollment in schools by removing the burden of all major mandatory fees from parents and making it a responsibility of the government.

Although the program will be formally launched on Tuesday, September 12, by President Akufo-Addo, Senior High Schools will officially reopen to commence the 2017/2018 academic year today.

A Deputy Minister for Education, Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum has assured Ghanaians that the much touted “Free SHS” program will succeed.

“One of the best things that could ever happen to many Ghanaians especially parents is the fact that they will no longer be burdened with huge school fees to pay for their wards to access senior high school education,” he said.

Meanwhile, the boy’s dormitory, assembly hall/dinning hall and the teacher's bungalows in the school are yet to be completed.
