The 5.7m figure was an error, only 3.5m have benefited from Free SHS β Adutwum clarifies
Former Education Minister, Dr. Yaw Osei Adutwum, has provided a correction regarding the number of students who have benefited from Ghana’s Free Senior High School (Free SHS) policy.
In a recent statement, Dr. Adutwum acknowledged that the actual number of beneficiaries is 3.5 million, contrary to the previously stated figure of 5.7 million.
Dr. Adutwum assumed full responsibility for the error and emphasized the significant impact of the Free SHS policy on Ghana’s education sector. Since its implementation, the policy has substantially expanded access to secondary education, alleviating financial burdens on numerous Ghanaian families.
The former Education Minister reiterated that the Free SHS policy remains a landmark educational reform in Ghana’s history. He urged stakeholders to continue supporting the program, ensuring its sustained success and improvement.
Dr. Adutwum’s clarification provides an accurate representation of the policy’s reach and impact, underscoring the government’s commitment to enhancing education in Ghana.
